| Here in the Northern Hemisphere, summer is upon us! Depending on where you live, school is already finished for the year, or will be shortly. Summer learning loss, or the summer slide, is a well-known phenomenon, where students lose knowledge and skills learned during the school year. But summer doesn’t have to mean a break from learning! Head on over to OpenCourseWare for free learning materials to cover a range of interests, from coding to literature, AI to climate change. Visit now. |

Learn more about the future of artificial intelligence and machine learning education might look a lot more human. Meet Prof. Catherine D’Ignazio of MIT’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP) and Prof. Jacob Andreas and Harini Suresh of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. They teach students to recognize how deep learning systems can replicate and magnify the biases inherent in the data sets that are used to train them.
