What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines, enabling them to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning from experience, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. AI systems can process and analyze large amounts of data, adapt to new information, and improve their performance over time.
These technologies encompass various subfields, including machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics, and hold the potential to revolutionize industries, enhance automation, and advance scientific understanding.
What is Machine Learning?
Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence that focuses on developing algorithms and models that enable computers to learn from data and improve their performance on specific tasks over time. Instead of being explicitly programmed, ML systems use patterns and insights from large datasets to make predictions, decisions, or classifications.
This iterative process involves the system adjusting its parameters based on examples, allowing it to generalize and make accurate predictions on new, unseen data. Machine learning has applications in various fields, from image and speech recognition to recommendation systems and medical diagnoses.

NEW! Digital Boost
This innovative initiative aims to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application by providing students with hands-on experience in digital technologies and practical skills development.
With the support of the Canadian Federal Government via the Innovative Work-Integrated Learning (I-WIL) Initiatives program, participants who select and complete their project following the RoboGarden Bootcamp will receive a $1,400 stipend from I-WIL.
This serves to both compensate them for their time to complete the project and demonstrate the income-generating potential of the career progression steps they have undertaken.
