Concepts in AI Algorithms

By Garry Ka Lok Chu
Cohort 2020-2021

First of all, I would like to thank ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ for giving me the opportunity to learn about different aspects of AI that are relevant to Mathematics. Throughout my journey as an AI Teaching Fellow, I have learned a lot from reading papers and watching educational videos. Also, thanks to my exchanges with the other AI Teaching Fellows (who are members of numerous departments other than mine), I came to understand different perspectives on AI. ÌýAlthough my mandate as a Fellow has now ended, education is a continuous learning process and I will continue to learn more about AI and will serve as an ambassador for AI from the perspective of Mathematics.

The materials found in this portfolio can be used in any Dawson Mathematics course, especially courses related to distances as well as those related to probability and statistics, such as the following:

Title: Are AI-Powered Exam Proctoring Systems the Answer We Have Been Waiting For?

Abstract: To what extent can we detect and prevent cheating in exams through remote AI proctors? In this session, we will explore what is currently available, past experiences, and potentials for the future. We will highlight the practical and ethical concerns around monitoring students physically, as well as tracking their private data. We will also explore some alternatives to reduce cheating in exams.

Presenters: Jennifer Sigouin, Vanessa Gordon, Garry Chu, Carl Saucier-Bouffard, Ahmad Banki
