What is this program about?​ It is AI Education, Enablement and Excellence program. It is


interactive, Free, Open. It is customizable.

What really is AI? ​AI is a cool way of building pretty smart things that are good for society.
More formally, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the Art, Science, and Engineering of building ​smarter
systems ​that are responsive, adaptive and dynamic, which create ​advantage and efficiency​ in
every area of our daily lives. These systems become smarter and smarter because they learn
from their environment and experience.

What is the Core Purpose of this program? ​CAI 2018 program is aimed at promoting
education, enablement, and excellence in Artificial Intelligence especially with the emphasis on
creating applications to promote the well-being of all citizens as well as the planet, by employing
open education, open source technology, public datasets and current state research in AI.

How can I use it?​ Use this program to advance your knowledge, build solutions for the welfare
of our beautiful planet, all our fellow citizens, and living creatures. While it can be used to
advance your career, use it at work and for commercial benefits, keep in mind it is mainly
designed to enhance the welfare of global citizens using Social Innovation principles. We use
public datasets, open source tools, and open education. So we emphasize the primacy of global
welfare and well being over anything else.

What is Mission of this program ​Mission of our program is to provide free, open and
world-class enablement of Citizen AI Engineers and help advance the profession of Artificial
Intelligence as well as allied disciplines.We aim to prepare the participants with creative,
analytical and practical skills emphasizing breadth and depth in a range of relevant disciplines
and capabilities in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Knowledge-based Systems,
Software Architecture and Systems Engineering.

What is the time commitment? ​It varies from person to person. Generally speaking, ​5-8 hours
a week​ should be sufficient to keep up with the program. Of course, if you want to be challenged
more, we have plenty of projects, assignments and additional research we can engage you in

Can I get Certification in AI?​ Yes, you can get certified as a Citizen AI Engineer. It is free to
get certified but you have to demonstrate some expertise and capability. So we created levels of
mastery from Green Belt 1 to Black Belt 2 (Highest level). All our certifications are totally free
and open to all citizens on Earth (International Space Station and outer space etc. :)) Please
write to Dr. Rachel Fleming <​rachel@emodern.biz​> if you are interested in Citizen AI
certification.

Can I just learn the skills and not get certified?​ Absolutely! We want to bring out millions of
Citizen AI Engineers who can build advanced solutions for the betterment of the planet. While
certification can help you professionally it is not always required to build creative and intelligent
solutions, architecture or develop new approaches.

Are there any prerequisites?​ There are no prerequisite courses or for this program or age
restrictions. Keen desire to learn, experiment and innovate is expected, which is abundant in
everyone, will help you learn, enjoy the program and apply AI for your success as well as
building a better planet.
How is it delivered?​ Weekly Roadmaps are made available on Google Drive. I will announce
these weekly broadcasts on major social networks including LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+ and
Twitter etc.

I am only 10 years old but I want to become a Citizen AI Engineer, can I still participate?
Yes. There are no age limits in this program. You will learn the skills required in this program
starting with Fast Track to AI. However, if you are young, you require help from your
parents/guardians or teachers in navigating through this program and using tools we
recommend. So we have dedicated mentors in this program that can help those who need help.

Is this program Customizable?​ Yes. You can customize it for your needs or the needs of your
team/organization. Write to me if you want a custom roadmap<mohan@emodern.biz>

How is it Customizable?​ You can use this as a template and build a similar program for your
organization or group. We can help you customize and deliver it if needed.

What are the Certification requirements?

1. Github account is required. Your projects files and documents need to be hosted on your
Github page. Obtain a Github account, if you already do not have one.

What it is not: ​No live lectures. We use the best lectures/research papers and instructional
resources from Public Domain. Yet, there may be webinars and live demonstrations by
participants (including me). It is built on MIT OCW but it is not equivalent to MIT OCW or any
other MIT programs or EdX or any other educational medium/initiative (public domain or not)
