What new era would I be referring to? It is the era of a degree in Artificial Intelligence. It used to be Computer Science way back in the 1970s. Then we introduced Information Management in the 1980s. Then it was Management Information Systems. Business Intelligence followed. So doesn’t it make sense that we can now get a degree in Artificial Intelligence.
We had a hierarchy for this - data management, the lowest level, then information management, then knowledge management and finally wisdom. Ha ha! To think we can actually figure out wisdom.
What would we learn in the Artificial Intelligence education program? wrote course outlines when I worked at Ryerson (renamed the Metropolitan University of Toronto) and I doubt if I could not have written the program key points for the Rotman program. I don’t think I made up that much crap for the entire program of courses let alone a six-week virtual e-learning experience. The overview is HERE. What about the last “key takeaway” - like something from 1984:
Create a structured road map to drive AI adoption and apply gen AI to foster innovation, cultivate a data-driven culture, and mitigate resistance to change
Can we find amusing things in all this? I really wanted to find an “AI walks into a bar joke “ that is funny. I hardly found one joke. Here it is: “An AI walks into a bar and orders a byte to drink, but is told the bar only serves bits.”
Just below it was this overview of a youtube video titled “A guy walks into a bar” and the subheading is this:
“Hilarious jokes about a sandwich, panda, cowboy, cat, time traveler, priest, rabbi, monk, amnesiac, $5 bill, tennis ball, ghost, conspiracy theorists, cornstalk, and weasel.
That’s a joke right there.
Our picture today is tree bark - this was in Pasadena, and with a bit of colourizing, it looks like sand banks at the seashore. I am so impressed with all the kinds of surfaces and textures that trees have.
