English | Size: 183.94 MB
Category: Tutorial

Decision-making is difficult in an uncertain world. When faced with complex problems, we have three powerful tools at our disposal: intuition, logic, and data. But as each tool on its own is flawed, the trick is knowing how to use them together. By asking the right questions, checking your own biases, designing a method of information-gathering to test your hypotheses, and using probabilistic reasoning to choose the best among several good options, you can make difficult decisions much easier. This course provides the tools and techniques you need to improve your decision-making skills over time and to support your team’s ability to make high-risk group decisions. Learn how to identify common cognitive blind-spots, develop cogent hypotheses, remain open to a wide range of possible solutions, and choose wisely among them. [Read more…]

Because creativity is such a powerful changemaking force, countless myths have sprung up around it, the most dangerous of which is that “you either have it or you don’t.” While some people may be more talented than others in, say, songwriting or costume design, the ability to think and solve problems creatively is built into the human brain. Curiosity, experimentation, and innovation define us as a species. At the same time, we’re creatures of habit, and it’s easy for individuals and companies to get “locked in” to procedures that no longer serve them. How do you get “unstuck”? Building on insights from improv, design thinking, comedy writing, and startup incubation, the lessons in this course offer you concrete tools for creative thinking. [Read more…]

Artificial intelligence (AI) can have deeply embedded bias. It’s the job of data scientists and developers to ensure their algorithms are fair, transparent, and explainable. This responsibility is critically important when building models that may determine policy-or shape the course of people’s lives. In this course, award-winning software engineer Kesha Williams explains how to debias AI with Amazon SageMaker. She shows how to use SageMaker to create a predictive-policing machine-learning model that integrates Rekognition and AWS DeepLens, creating a crime-fighting model that can “see” what’s happening in a live scene. By following the development process, you can learn what goes into making a model that doesn’t suffer from cultural prejudices. Kesha also discusses how to remove bias in training data, test a model for fairness, and build trust in AI by making models that are explainable. [Read more…]

“Diversity and inclusion” has become such a familiar phrase that it’s easy to lose sight of what it means. Workplaces that incorporate a wide range of human experience-across gender, culture, age, sexual preference, and other differences-are more adaptable and more innovative places to work than their more homogeneous competitors.
