AI Teaching Tools & Resources

A working list of trainings, demos, and tools I point students at. Part of Teaching.

Training and Teaching

• Google AI for Social Good – Training on the machine learning (ml) fundamentals and applications
• Google Pair AI Explorables – Small modules on different AI topics
• fast.ai Data Ethics – Course on the various ethical implications of data and ml
• AI Hall of Shame – Wired database of AI-related incidents
• AI Incident Database – Database of AI-related incidents
• Neural Networks Playground – Different exercises to train and engage with a neural network
• Neural Networks and Deep Learning – Open Access textbook
• Google Machine Learning Crash Course – A free course on machine learning
• TowardsAI – Media publication

Demonstration Sites

• NLP
  • Word2Viz – Word embeddings exploration tool
  • Word2Vec Demo – Word embeddings exploration tool
  • IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding Text Analysis – More complex natural language powered text analysis demo
  • Gender Decoder – This application is trained to identify gendered language in job postings.
• Computer Vision
  • COCO Explorer – Labeled image dataset
  • Open Images Dataset – Labeled image dataset
  • Google Cloud Vision API – Allows you to test the system by dragging and dropping an image for analysis.
  • MyHeritage – Animate still photos
  • Film – AI-assisted film still search
• Gernerative AI
  • ChatGPt – Created by OpenAI, this application makes text generation more accessible. It should be noted that it feels like a knowledge bank when it answers questions, but the text is generated through a predictive algorithm that crafts the text using statistics to guess the more likely next word in the answer.
  • BlenderBot – Meta’s text generator demoed as a chat bot.
  • DALL-E – This image genration application creates a visual using a text prompt. Try the same prompt with different art styles.
  • TryItOn – This photo generator takes an image you provide to generate a range machine learning generated headshots.
• Training
  • TeachableMachine – Train an ML categorization tool without coding
  • Do Not Touch Your Face – Train a tool to teach yourself not to touch your face (made during the start of the Coronavirus pandemic)
  • Survival of the Best Fit – Game to demonstrate AI bias in hiring
• Other
  • ClipDrop by Stable Diffusion – Uses AI to edit images or generate new images from a sample image.
  • DeepAI Colorizer – API to use AI to colorize black and white pictures
  • LALAL.AI – Extract vocal and instrumentals from audio tracks
  • MoralMachine – Tool to explore the decisions regarding which lives to save that an automated vehicle may need to make while driving
