This seems optimized for AI in the hyped sense (as shorthand for applied machine learning and data science) rather than actually preparing a student to contribute to "real" AI (see work of Josh Tenenbaum or Brenden Lake). For an undergrad curriculum for the latter, I'd expect to see more on understanding intelligence in extant biological systems, eg courses in cognitive science, neuroscience, child cognitive development, and more background on animal cognition. I would also expect to see more robotics and at least some treatment of reinforcement learning.
- sevensor 6y agoI would also move up the second year "intro to AI" course to the first year, with an emphasis on history. You shouldn't be hearing about AI Winter for the first time after already spending a year on the subject.
