The Program
In this program we examine history to understand the impact of exponential growth, capitalism, welfare, and innovation. We understand how important the next wave of development is and how it is related to artificial intelligence (AI).
AI uses data and data-driven quantitative models and decision making are the cornerstone of this program. We start with an excursion in the vast world of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) in order to appreciate that most decisions can be brought back to data-driven decisions.
From there we dig deeper to understand this artificial intelligence. We use the software R to make simulations, use data, and even build models.
Throughout the course, students work on a project that –hopefully– is of use elsewhere and we improve together the data driven recommendations in the paper.
Exam: presentations of projects by students
For this program students make a project about a data-driven decision. That project results in:
- a paper (min. 5 pages)
- a presentation (during last class)
This might be part of another project and/or end-work. The presentation of the project counts as exam.
