The course will combine general lectures and individual working groups to survey the richness of the area of Artificial Intelligence. In addition to weekly lectures that introduce a wide range of topics related to AI, the course is structured around working groups in which students will give presentations that discuss scientific articles in the AI domain. The working group forms a mentor group in which both academic skills and the individual disciplines are discussed. The goal of the course is to provide a broad introduction to AI and to provide a vehicle that can help prepare the student for studying AI at the Bachelor's level.
