AI systems and machine learning software are increasingly being used to address cybersecurity problems.

UMBC has partnered with AI4ALL to offer its free online Discover AI class introducing AI technology to selected UMBC undergraduate students from any major this Fall. The eight-week program starts in the third week of September, includes both synchronous and asynchronous instruction, and requires about 15-20 hours over the eight weeks. It is open to all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors and is structured to accommodate students with and without prior computer science or AI experience. Students finishing the program will get a certificate and the opportunity to apply for free follow-on programs.

Interested students can Apply using this Google form by Friday, September 3.
