Artificial Intelligence (AI) is quickly moving from a science-fiction concept to reality where machines now have the capability to perform tasks commonly associated with humans. We are starting to see our society transformed because of AI, so having a better understanding of what it is and what it is capable of doing is essential. AI helps power Amazon’s Alexa personal assistant, Google’s Deep Dream neural network, various marketing initiatives, health applications, the aviation industry, and much more. In this webinar:
- Discover what Artificial Intelligence (AI) is and how it is becoming a “machine trait.”
- Gain an appreciation of AI pioneers like John McCarthy, Alan Turing, Marvin Minsky et al.
- Learn how AI works and explore some applications that could play a role in your library.
- Reflect on the future of AI and the implications for libraries and society in general.
- Special Guest, Owen Cegielski from STEM School and Academy in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, will discuss various AI projects.

approximating human intelligence, maybe we should
think about giving them a childhood, too.”

9. AI Applications:
• Game playing - To beat a world champion by brute force and known reliable heuristics requires
being able to look at 200 million positions per second.
• Speech recognition - it is possible to instruct some computers using speech, most users have
gone back to the keyboard and the mouse as still more convenient.
• Understanding natural language - The computer has to be provided with an understanding of the
domain the text is about, and this is presently possible only for very limited domains.
• Computer vision - full computer vision requires partial three-dimensional information that is not
just a set of two-dimensional views. At present there are only limited ways of representing three-
dimensional information directly, and they are not as good as what humans evidently use.
• Expert systems - A ``knowledge engineer'' interviews experts in a certain domain and tries to
embody their knowledge in a computer program for carrying out some task.
• Heuristic classification - most feasible kinds of expert system is to put some information in one of
a fixed set of categories using several sources of information.

53. About STEM School Highlands Ranch
At STEM School Highlands Ranch we put innovation in the center of learning to unleash the potential of all students
and prepare them for an exponentially changing world. Don't just read about our school; See what we do every day!
We are more than a school. We are a think tank, a learning lab and a catalyst for creativity.
We infuse STEM into all classrooms. We challenge students with STEM-based, real-world problem solving fueled
by constant exploration, inquiry and discovery.
We empower students. We put students in the driver’s seat of their learning, engaging and empowering them to
push their own unique boundaries of innovative learning, thinking and doing.
We see teachers as catalysts. Here, teachers are role models and innovation coaches who provide the framework
for learning.
We innovate and learn together. Here, we leverage the power of collaboration, teamwork and group think to build,
design and create solutions to real world problems.
Our goal is not only to prepare students to thrive in the constant world of re-invention, but to lead it.

“Woolf, et al., (2013) proposed some “grand challenges” that artificial
intelligence in education should work to address, including:
● Virtual mentors for every learner: Omnipresent support that
integrates user modeling, social simulation and knowledge
representation.
● Addressing 21st century skills: Assist learners with self-
direction, self-assessment, teamwork and more.
● Analysis of interaction data: Synthesize data about
individual learning, social and learning contexts and
personal interests.
● Provide opportunities for global classrooms: Increase the
interconnectedness and accessibility of classrooms
worldwide.
● Lifelong and lifewide technologies: Taking learning outside
of the classroom and into the learner’s life outside of school.Check out this Forbes’ article and NPR’s report on
artificial intelligence in education.

58. You will program your AI as a game simulation, similar to a “Choose
your Own Adventure!” Requirements:
● 1) Explore use of the software at: https://api.ai/. A good
written guide can be found here. Please view this STEM
student-made video tutorial here which includes additional
code to help your AI have a temperament, an AI with
attitude! You may also need to download the Google Home
App on Google Play or Itunes. Once you program your AI
with the API.AI software, you’ll need export and upload it into
Google Home via the APP. Extra Note: Google Home
simulator.
● Other software option: TensorFlow for more advanced
“Machine Learning.”
The WWI AI Lesson:

Kaiser Wilhelm II brought back to
life 100 years later!
59. ● 2) Based on your collected information above, program a dialogue in AI, in which you defend your country’s position. Your AI will
be the historical leader of your country who will interact with a yet to be determined delegate team of another country. So, for
example, your AI will be activated by “OK, Tsar Nicholas II.” Your AI should be prepared to present biographical detail of your
country’s leader.
● 3) Next, program your country’s initial position in a short speech, providing some historical background leading up to the July
Crisis. Begin your dialogue initially hostile and aggressive, defending why you want to declare war. Remember, you will also need
to predict what questions your AI will be asked and feature an appropriate response.
● 4) Program different paths and outcomes! If delegates (game players) from another country ask you the “right” questions and
provide appropriate responses, you will begin to consider various paths of peace. If opposing delegates ask you the “wrong”
questions, you will move towards the path of declaring war! So, your AI game will feature two game outcomes: war or peace!
More advanced coders can also program “termperaments” (see guides below for further instructions!)
● 5) Your AI simulation should last approximately 5-10 minutes for the gameplayer, present plenty of historically accurate
biographical info and historical background, and feature multiple paths and outcomes, leading to peace or war depending upon the
player’s actions.
Step 3: Once all groups have finished programming their AI’s, we will rotate delegation groups, facing the different AI simulations from all
countries represented. If enough groups succeed with convincing the AI’s to pursue a path to peace, then World War I will be averted. If
not, the War begins!

61. “Archeology followed excavations within
some of these caves located in the
jungle of west-central Belize, Central
America, during the summer of 2000,
with reports straight from the field
during the investigation of elite burials,
stone monuments, and art within the
caves.”
The caves of West-Central Belize are
areas in which the ancient Maya
performed rituals and sacrifices. Much
of the cave is filled with broken pottery
waiting to be discovered.

have a number of
cramped, compact
areas, (left) and
histoplasmosis is also
a concern (right).
Harmful wildlife is also
present near and at
the site.

64. SOLUTION:
The RAD Robot
coded with
API.AI to
respond to
voice
commands!
Purpose:
To find artifacts
within the cave that
may be difficult or
even dangerous to
find, see, or
retrieve.
Function:
To document
artifacts and cave
layouts without
touching or
potentially
damaging objects
within the cave.
Design:
A motor with an
ultrasonic sensor
and functional
treads.
Cost:
With programming and application components, estimated cost
would be roughly $40,000.
65. Future AI Plans for Archaeology
● New Project in development between machine
learning with TensorFlow, drones and Google Earth
Engine API
● Drones capture film footage over sites
● Archaeology students use TensorFlow to create an
AI that can visually identify man-made artifacts on the
ground and map GIS data to draw conclusions on
ancient human activities.
● A simple kit version is sold at local stores like Target.
● Case studies using Google Earth Engine for data
sets
