Session 1 :: What is Artificial Intelligence? |
In this session, you will be introduced to various appearances of artificial intelligence (AI), including mathematical theorem proving and game playing. We will discuss the inflexibility of machine behavior and contrast our observations with philosophical definitions of general (human, or biologic) intelligence. We will study popular theories of mind, and discuss whether machines can have feelings. We will conclude with a survey of how close modern technology is to passing the Turing Test. |
Session 2 :: What is Machine Learning? |
In this session, you will be introduced to the basic concepts of machine learning. You will explore the strengths and weaknesses of supervised and unsupervised machine learning. We will discuss the role that optimization plays in machine learning. We will discuss limitations of machine learning, including the so-called curse of dimensionality. |
Session 3 :: Automated Problem Solving |
The four color theorem states that no more than four colors are required to color the regions of any map so that no two adjacent regions have the same color. This was the first major mathematical theorem to be proven with extensive computer assistance. In this lesson we will discuss why this and other problems are hard, and study how automated processes can help to solve such hard problems. |
Session 4 :: Optimization
|
The term satisficing is a portmanteau of “satisfy” and “suffice”. If you are hungry and you walk into a grocery store you will probably grab the first snack that suffices to satisfy your hunger. Would it be better to inspect every single item in the store before picking the optimal item? Here we talk about strengths and weakness of optimization. We cover the statistical principles of maximum likelihood and maximum entropy. We discuss why constrained, non-convex optimization problems are hard to solve. We study the role of optimization in curve fitting, and explore whether modern techniques for causal inference can produce smarter machines. |
Session 5 :: Uncertainty
|
Recently, loophole-free Bell-inequality experiments have been conducted to demonstrate that Einstein was not correct when he famously claimed “God does not play dice.” In this lesson we will study whether or not there is inherent randomness in nature and measurement. We will cover the basic idea of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and experience uncertain physical measurement. Finally, we will discuss the advantages of adopting the language of probability theory and statistics when describing the world around us. |
Session 6 :: Regression
|
In this session, you will study the details of how we fit mathematical functions to observed data. We will discuss regression analysis in high dimensions and also nonlinear models. We will discuss the distinction between deterministic chaos and random noise. We will briefly discuss time series models. Our goal is to understand the basic mathematics behind models that are linear in their parameters. |
Session 7 :: The Feed-Forward Neural Network
|
A neural network generalizes regression in a direction of non-linearity inspired by the way biological brains work. In this introductory lesson we will study the most basic neural network, the feed-forward neural network. |
Session 8 :: Clustering
|
K-means clustering is a technique for partitioning n objects into k clusters, optimally. Here we will study how it can be used for vector quantization, cluster analysis, and feature learning. |
Session 9 :: Applications of Machine Learning |
In this session, we will study some successful applications of machine learning technology, including game playing, handwriting recognition, fraud detection, language translation, fake videos, and musical composition. We will also study and debate the suitability of machine learning in the field of healthcare. |
Session 10 :: Casual AI |
This final session will survey some of the frontiers in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning. We will discuss problems that arise from attempts to create contextual AI. We will discuss how Turing-award winner Judea Pearl’s causal calculus attempts to expand machine learning beyond curve fitting. We will learn how to progress up the ladder of causality from thinking about mere associations, to thinking about interventions, and finally to thinking about counterfactuals. We will explore whether or not AI can likewise elevate their thinking processes. |
Instructor Bio |

EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF AI
This course provides an introduction to the basic ideas of artificial intelligence. It starts with an overview of philosophic definitions for intelligence and artificial intelligence, along with a survey of various approaches to artificial intelligence, and some discussion of machine consciousness. It surveys automated approaches to problem-solving, natural language processing, perception, planning, learning, motion and manipulation, and social interaction. It introduces tools such as logic, search, optimization, and probabilistic methods for uncertain reasoning.
This course also provides an overview of basic techniques within the field of machine learning, thought of as a subfield of artificial intelligence. For instance, students will study the distinction between supervised and unsupervised learning. Students will gain familiarity with the ideas of semi-supervised learning, reinforcement learning, deep learning, and meta learning, along with anomaly detection and association rule learning. Students will study a catalog of artificial neural networks, including the simple feedforward neural network, the radial basis function network, recurrent neural networks, modular neural networks, and dynamic neural networks.

However, in addition to attorneys, Utah now issues a limited license to practice law to individuals who have satisfied all the education, experience, and testing requirements set forth in the Rules Governing Licensed Paralegal Practitioners ("Rules"). For all the requirements to become a Licensed Paralegal Practitioner, please see Rule 15-703 of the Utah Rules of Professional Responsibility for LPP's. For more detailed information about becoming a licensed paralegal practitioner visit the Utah State Bar website.

Learning Outcomes |
This course focuses on the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) including the protections for consumers and requirements on creditors. Issues covered include the purpose of the FDCPA and the types of debts covered; debt collection practices prohibited by the FDCP; unfair debt collection practices. The course will emphasize substantive law, forms, and procedures approved for Limited License Paralegals practicing in Utah. Ideally, students will take this course shortly after completing 1500 hours as a paralegal (with 100 focused on debt collection law) and shortly before taking the licensing exam.
