AI Carpentry teaches researchers to make informed use of artificial intelligence.
Our mission is to empower people to make informed decisions about the use of artificial intelligence tools and methods in their projects and to prepare them to become advocates for judicious use of AI in research. The target audience of AI Carpentry is researchers and data scientists with little to no expertise in machine learning and artificial intelligence methods.
Each of our workshops is aimed at a different target audience with their own goals and background knowledge. In each case, the goal is to empower learners to make informed decisions about the application of AI in their projects. We achieve this by combining conceptual learning with plenty of hands-on exploration and practice.
Everyone who participates in Carpentries activities is required to conform to the Code of Conduct, which also outlines how to report an incident if needed.
Who: The course is aimed at graduate students and other researchers who work with data and want to write programs to work more efficiently with that data. You do not need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented at the workshop.

Participants must bring a laptop with a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc.) that they have administrative privileges on. They should have a few specific software packages installed (listed below).
We are committed to making this workshop accessible to everybody.
The workshop organizers have checked that:
We are dedicated to providing a positive and accessible learning environment for all. We do not require participants to provide documentation of disabilities or disclose any unnecessary personal information. However, we do want to help create an inclusive, accessible experience for all participants. We encourage you to share any information that would be helpful to make your Carpentries experience accessible.
Glosario is a multilingual glossary for computing and data science terms. The glossary helps learners attend workshops and use our lessons to make sense of computational and programming jargon written in English by offering it in their native language. Translating data science terms also provides a teaching tool for Carpentries Instructors to reduce barriers for their learners.
AI Carpentry workshops are designed to be interactive rather than lecture-based, with lessons that build upon one another. To foster a positive online learning environment, we strongly recommend that participants join in real time. As a result, workshop recordings are not recommended and may not be available to learners.
