  • Google created a new site that it hopes will be a hub of information for artificial intelligence and machine learning.
  • On the site is a crash course on the two subjects, that Google initially developed for its employees.
  • In the future, the company hopes the site will expand with more courses and information, all free for everyone.

These days, you can’t open a tech blog without seeing headlines about artificial intelligence and machine learning (there is a difference). Google knows that many folks don’t have a clue how these technologies work, even people in technology industries where AI and machine learning are going to be incredibly useful, such as app development.

To combat this, Google launched a new site called Learn with Google AI. This information hub will be a place where people can “learn about core ML concepts, develop and hone your ML skills, and apply ML to real-world problems.” The site is technical in nature, but it is intended to be a resource for everyone, from advanced researchers to total beginners.

But the crown jewel of the site is the Machine Learning Crash Course. When Google first started pursuing ML/AI technologies, it created the MLCC as an internal resource for its employees. Now the company has posted the entire, 15-hour course online for free, available for anyone to take.

Machine learning is already a part of your life, you just don’t know it yet

If you were born in the 80s or 90s, then there’s a good chance the idea of machine learning conjures images of Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator. It sounds like a far future concept that …

Google emphasizes that the course can be taken and understood by anyone, but to really get the most out of it you should understand intro-level algebra and have some basic programming ability. If you find yourself lacking in the programming department, might we suggest you check this out?

This is only the beginning of what the Learning with Google AI site has in store. The company hopes to add more courses like the MLCC to the site in the future, creating a central repository for ML/AI education.

“AI can solve complex problems and has the potential to transform entire industries, which means it’s crucial that AI reflect a diverse range of human perspectives and needs,” says Google’s Zuri Kemp. “That’s why part of Google AI’s mission is to help anyone interested in machine learning succeed.”

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
