1. A new paper claims a big improvement over existing models. What do you do?

2. Your model does brilliantly on the test set but fails once deployed. How do you react?

3. How do you feel about the maths behind AI – linear algebra, probability and optimisation?

4. You discover your model gives systematically worse results for one group of people. What do you do?

5. The programme is taught in English, with classmates from different countries and technical backgrounds. How do you see that?

6. How do you approach testing a new idea for a model?

7. AI is more than deep learning – it also covers planning, search, reasoning and reinforcement learning. How does that sound?

8. Your Master’s thesis could propose a genuinely new method. How do you feel?

9. A manager wants to launch your AI system next week, but you know its limitations. What do you do?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence?

⇑Definitions and quotes

Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI, also machine intelligence, MI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence (NI) displayed by humans and other animals. In computer science AI research is defined as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving".
Intelligence
Intelligence has been defined in many different ways to include the capacity for logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, reasoning, planning, creativity, and problem solving. It can be more generally described as the ability to perceive or infer information, and to retain it as knowledge to be applied towards adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.
Intelligence
We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
Albert Einstein, "The Goal of Human Existence", Out of My Later Years (1956), p. 260
Artificial Intelligence
The techniques of artificial intelligence are to the mind what bureaucracy is to human social interaction.
Terry Winograd (1991) "Thinking Machines: Can there be? Are we?"
Intelligence
Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.
George Orwell, in a review of A Coat of Many Colours: Occasional Essays by Herbert Read, Poetry Quarterly (Winter 1945).
