Demystifying Artificial Intelligence with AI Sandbox

The Milgard School of Business' Center for Business Analytics (CBA) proudly presents the AI Sandbox, a groundbreaking initiative designed for students, staff, and faculty to immerse themselves in the intricate world of artificial intelligence (AI). Expressing enthusiasm, Sergio Davalos shares, "I am excited that we can provide an opportunity for students to explore the AI space and learn about the benefits of using AI for personal and professional purposes."

The AI Sandbox stands as an educational cornerstone, aiming to demystify AI and transition users from passive observers to active drivers of AI capabilities. Davalos further explains, "Students will move from being a passenger in the AI vehicle to being a driver capable of directing the AI vehicle."

Ozge Kantar Boyraz, describing the AI Sandbox as "your gateway to exploring the vast potential of artificial intelligence," underscores its accessibility and engagement. Specifically tailored for students, the platform boasts a user-friendly interface hosted on a high-performance Mac Mini, equipped with the latest AI tools.

The Sandbox embodies a philosophy of exploration, discovery, and action.

Users navigate through four distinct levels:

1. Generative AI (e.g., ChatGpt, MidJourney)
2. Low-Code/No-Code development (e.g., JMP, Azure ML, Rapidminer)
3. Machine Learning (ML models for business problems)
4. Deep Learning (utilizing tools like Pytorch, transformer, and CUDDA) for computationally intensive tasks such as computer vision, drug discovery, and medical imaging.
