Come and learn key Machine Learning-Artificial Intelligence concepts and how they are transforming your major area of study! With the UArizona’s ML-AI experts and the Data Science Institute’s ambassadors to guide you, this free, interactive, 1-day workshop will de-mystify ML-AI concepts for non-Computer Science students. No matter what your major is, employers need and want a 21st century workforce that is ML-AI savvy. All attendees will receive a certificate of participation.
