Participants will learn the basics, gain skills, and build confidence to engage in social impact projects with machine learning components. If participants work in gender & social inclusion support, proposal development, program design, backstopping, and other non-technical areas, this training is for them.
This training assumes no prior understanding of machine learning and will use conceptual understandings, rather than statistical and data science approaches, to introduce this rapidly evolving technology. In this 6-day interactive online course, participants will learn how machine learning algorithms operate, explore challenges around bias, ethics, and inclusion, and review development use cases. Will also finish with best practices and examples of harnessing the power of machine learning for gender equity and social inclusion.
This course will empower participants to understand, advocate for, and address ethical AI concerns broadly and gender equality, social inclusion, diversity, and equity concerns specifically. Will also emerge with a greater ability to read and apply USAID guidance and constructively collaborate with coders/developers for successful machine learning for social impact projects.
