Datasources

Data collection of interesting information on a more data-driven view.

Impact

Based on Robert Koch Institute (RKI) 2540 persons died based on Covid-19 till 11. Apr. 2020 in Germany. Distribution of ages you see in the graphic below.

The average age was 82years – the average life expectation is Germany according United Nations data is 81.4years (macrotrends.net) – Impact?

Lock down on all groups – any impact for kids if are missing the social experimenting and experience in school? Any impact if Google and Apple is implementing tracing functionality? Any impact based on increasing stress on families? Any impact if someone will not be able to meet their beloved? Any impact if some are running just out of time in their life without some helping hand?

Decision Intelligence

Cassie Kozyrkov (Google) presented a view on machine learning and artificial intelligence that was completely new to me. Starting with the idea

All technology is an echo of the wishes of whoever built it.

Cassie Kozyrkov

She is emphasizing to reduce the fear on the technology on believe in the human. The possibility to communicate to machines not with code, instead with experience and examples as we do it all the years in the past.

She pointed out the AI as student with certain special capabilities. By the way a great quote:

Written in Python it is ML – written in PowerPoint it is AI.

Cassie Kozyrkov

So how to work with that student?

As in real live, be aware of the competence of the student. If you have a student with an remarkable memory you can not test him by asking informations he exactly learnt in the same way from a textbook. You also cannot ask him the same test questions twice.
