Principles of AI for ESAs
|
|
Hosted by Dr. Susan Leddick, PKR Inc.
Led by Dr. Duncan Simester, MIT Sloan School of Management
Dr. Simester has presented to ESAs on the Business Strategy Framework at annual workshops sponsored by PKR. Now, he is urging ESAs to educate themselves on the principles of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Dr. Simester is offering this special, one-time workshop for ESA individual leaders and agency leadership teams.
Principles of AI for ESAs complement the two articles published by Tom Collins and Susan Leddick in the October and November 2019 issues of AESA’s journal,
Perspectives
. Both are available for download at
https://www.aesa.us/blog/
. The articles provide background for the workshop along with suggestions for how AI and ML are likely to affect ESAs in particular and, to a lesser extent, education in general.
PKR’s intent is to encourage a national conversation about this important issue among ESAs. This workshop will accelerate that process and imbue it with important information that might otherwise take months to assemble at the agency level.
REGISTER by sending your name, agency, mailing address, phone number, email, the number of registrants, and the name of the event (AI for ESAs) to
registration@pkrnet.com
. The email goes to Dr. Leddick for confirmation and invoicing. Act now . . . registration space is limited and the hotel cutoff date is March 11.
|
Principles of AI for ESAs is not sponsored in any way by AESA; however, AESA endorses the work and Dr. Joan Wade, AESA Executive Director, is attending!
