What is Elegant AI all about?

The aim is to introduce you to a wide appreciation of what AI is, that it is so much more than Large Language Models such as ChatGPT. To the extent that I call AI on this website Algorithmic Intelligence which I feel has a much broader application. It applies to Art, the Media, Robotics etc. The workbooks are an intensive series of modules and units that take you step by step from complete beginner in coding to having a confident understanding of what a Neural Network is and how to build one.

The workbooks

Learning to code is a fundamental skill full stop. Like reading, writing and mathematics the ability to code is one of the modern ages key skills needed. You may not become a Software Developer but neither are you likely to become a Novelist, a Mathematician or an Artist and yet these skills are useful for many applications. The workbooks take you step by step through the process of learning what coding is, what AI (machine learning) is and what robotics is. Do not underestimate how useful this skill and knowledge is no matter what you do in life.

The workbooks are split into three sections and the intention is that you work progressively through each section. The first section introduces you to coding in a fun and interactive way, but covers the fundaments of coding and is used through the other two sections. The second section introduces neural network models and the the third section introduces robotics.

Section 1: Algorithmic Art
