R42 will bring your ideas to life. We want to look at the very earliest stage of ideas, likely when there are only one or two founders, no prototype. This is not an accelerator - we want to jump in and help found the company with you.

An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Beyond (Stanford University Continuing Studies)
October 1 - November 2, 2022
Artificial intelligence (AI) is inspired by our understanding of how the human brain learns and processes information and has given rise to powerful techniques known as neural networks and deep learning. This course will begin with an introductory overview of these AI techniques. We then will inspect what is beyond deep learning and real-world applications of neural networks, as well as implications to society as people participate in a human-centered AI world. Through hands-on exercises, we will discover how current AI platforms compare with how the brain works, how systems actually “learn,” and how to build and apply neural networks. By the end of the course, students will have a greater understanding of neural networks and deep learning so they can (1) converse with neural network practitioners and companies; (2) critically evaluate AI news stories and technologies; and (3) consider what the future of AI can hold and what barriers need to be overcome.
This introductory course is open to students of all levels. No computer science or programming experience is needed, but an understanding of simple algebra is expected.
