Wonderful

Hello everybody

Good morning good afternoon and good evening wherever you may be today where

Very thrilled to welcome you today too

Talk to you about our new digital transformation course

I'm at MIT professional education digital plus programs

Welcome to this introductory webinar our goal today is to

Introduce you to our faculty and and share more information about the course

So I will be doing that in just a minute

But actually get started

I wanted to just give you a little bit of orientation to our our webinar here and how you can

Interact with us

With that really two ways to interact the first way is to bring up the chat

So if you look on your screen you'll see a chat button

And we can all practice using that first by why don't you bring that up tell us what you

You're sitting today we've got

I'm over a hundred people here

And I meant to tell us where you're sitting I can tell you I'm I'm sitting here in a building right next to

MIT in Cambridge Massachusetts so

The dish are where you are because it's always interesting to

To see where people

I located

And when you do Pat if you're interested in sharing with everybody which I recommend douche

Share it with all panelists and attendees

I'm so we can all see so I'm seeing already Cape Town South Africa

Wingstop Brazil

Ohio to lay at Kuala Lumpur India Singapore Peru Athens

Mumbai Rome Italy dohai Portugal wonderful it's wonderful to see such a global

Community here

I think that's something that you'll see in this

Generally is that you'll come together with a global Community around topics of mutual

In chest so

Thank you for sharing

Now as we go through this this this program and introduced you to the course content

You may have questions that you would like to pose to The Faculty so

The way to do that is to use our

Human a box

So please don't post questions in the chat

Please post them in the queue in a box

We have a team of program advisors here with us on the on the webinar

That they'll be answering some of those questions as we go by text

And then once we get through our content we're going to try to limit our content is 30 or 40 minutes

Will Reserve that last

Peace

To go through this questions and answer just as many of them as we can

So

So that's how this webinar will work

And without further ado

I'd like to

Introduce you to the course first of all just very briefly as you know this is a digital transformation

Hovering what are the key technologies that are really impacting

Our Global Society right now blockchain artificial intelligence Internet of Things

The cloud

And cybersecurity and we're going to hear more about all of this in a minute but those are the main

The main topics that this course covers

The Faculty are we've got dr. Abel Sanchez and dr. John Williams and they

They are both

Join me here today

I'm thrilled to be sharing the platform with them

And you'll hear from them in just a minute

Just to give you a little bit more detail on them

John Williams is a professor of information engineering at here at MIT

And I'm he is as you can see I'm author dagger 150 Publications

An internationally recognized

Scholar in the area of computational algorithms

I'm For Life scale particle simulators which is very cool and

Also been named one of the 50 most powerful people in

Computer network

In 2005

With a very illustrious company there so

We're thrilled to have you with us today dr. Williams

Sanchez as well here the executive director at MIT

Geospatial

Datacenter

And who is you know Consulting for abroad orbea companies and teachers

In cybersecurity engineering

Patient and data science

And I'm dr. Sanchez has a wonderful TED Talk

On the future of Education with I

Which is is fascinating

Suggest that you look it up if you have a chance to do that

Okay

So without further Ado I'm going to turn it over sorry we're going to turn it over to dr. Williams and

Who's going to talk a little bit more about what to expect in this course so I'll stop sharing my

So we can chat

And it over

Tu

Let me

Share my screen

Okay can you see me

We sure can

Okay so

I think the main thing the

I want to convey to you is but both able and I

Spend most of my time in this area

I'm a computational what's happening in the field

Digital transformation

Hitting

Both

Industry and Academia and government

What we see

Is that one of the main features is destructive

Speak now

Changing

Constantly in the software area

This book take Exit extremely fast

Pottery Barn

Goal is to understand how we can keep up with this

Coptic

How can how can we learn this

Speed

And some people in industry

Decision-making now has to happen

I'm much faster

The clock ticks than we've ever

Experienced before

I'm so

That's the main goal I think

In this course is to give you

The tools

Another hand hold if you like so you can climb the mountain yourself

But

That you probably need to understand how to deploy these tools

In your organization

How to deploy the tools yourself

You know one of the things that we do is we make a lot of videos

Uninfect

We have arrived Studios now but they blend I

It always sitting in front of these Green Springs

But these little things the tools that you have to use these days

You're doing business remotely

You have distributed teams across the world

This is a very new way of doing business

Discourse

Will hopefully introduce you to

United Technologies behind this digital

Disruption

Acting industry

This kind of Club pic

I'm here wishing autonomous systems now being deployed

In the course we going to talk about AI

How do you systems now rocketech

But they have

They're already having immediate effect on the world

This is the stock market

In 2010

And in 20 minutes it's lost

A trillion dollars

I'm so

Which of these systems

For example in the finance area in

Writing

We really don't know how they're going to respond

Until we

Experience

These

Guitar shops

We actually think that these systems are behaving perfectly well

I'm so one of the challenges that we're facing today is to understand the properties of these systems

Building

Blockchain

One of these system

In 2008 I'm sure you will remember the market

Shock that a cut

You had two companies

Such as Nokia

BlackBerry

Basically

Going out of business

Never before we had a company was 150 billion

In 2008

Bye 2013

It's worth almost Nero

So this plug pic

Is extremely fast

Understanding the technologies that are driving this

What is critical

Not easy to do that

Install

Excuse me that my phone just rang

The devices that we have these days going to they're all around us

Digital disruption

You see these people with two or three finds you

Messi playing today

I talk to impress

As impressed with the number of international people that we saw that

Star

I'm totally able to say hello to you probably during the school

I know I'm going to be in Hong Kong in January start

Hopefully there's somebody from Hong Kong at taking the course

These disruptions have been driven by these Technologies

In this case

What they got wrong was that they store

We need to keyboard

But we didn't

Basically the iPhone disrupted ever

The only thing that's happened with the

Internet of things if you like that

These phones are producing data

And so now

This is just a diagram that you like illustrating the 7 billion people roughly

210

Countries across the world

Open using data

And what has changed

Is

We now have companies like

Amazon and Google but no the customer

Apps better than

Eye bank

This is why

Where was talking to

Various in

Institutions and banking instantly one

It's being difficult

Disrupted

Just a quick question on the

What would you

Say regarding the availability of data and competitive advantages and stirring domains

You're exactly the

Your access to data

Probably determined

How you can respond

If you don't have the data

You're at a significant disadvantage

You know we've seen me what we call the fangs you know Facebook Apple

Amazon

That

Have the day to

The disrupting

Companies

You know that existed maybe a hundred years

I'm suddenly that face

With making decisions

Bentley the banking sector

Blockchain

Decide

What is this

Do we need it

How fast do we need it

And I think

You know what we're saying is that

Blockchain is

Tremendous

Technology but

We really don't have that much

Experiments with it yet

And we need one to stand

What would a what does a

Smart contract me

Cetli

My view if you like what happened is that we started with the web

That on top of that we got laid internet

Things have devices producing data like our cell phones

And that gave rise to Big Data

Which is giving riots the ability to do

A machine learning

And that's probably one of the big disruptors now is machine learning

We're probably doing that in the cloud which is another of disruptive that

Almost

Industries

Considering moving or have moved to the cloud

That's a very different environment to the one we had 10 years ago

That's part of what we're covering a nice I think you'll you'll covering a lot of that

Continuous integration

Continuous deployment area

Yeah I just wanted to add one point they're done in that these decide data sets for example in the case of boy

Voice

If you think about that

Amazon Echo

Platform

Are they have over 50000 hours

Audio + transcripts

Anybody else that wants to move into that space

Has a tremendous challenge to overcome

And if you think about Amazon

And what they've done

In the world of retail

And I'm moving on to the physical World ride with purchase of Whole Foods

And starting to add smart stores right or the using machine learning to determine

Weather you grabbed an item and put it in your bag and you don't even have to pay

They're trying to do the same thing that they've done in the virtual world now in the physical

And the challenge for the rest of the world of Targets in

Home Depot send everybody else

Is that

This is

It hasn't been there game

And now they're heading to play

Beat the game of the internet Giants

Yeah I mean we both were both involved with inside of things we spent

Yeah the early 2000s

You know then we were hoping to get things online

Talking to each other

Now we've had a wish and now we have

Cyber security issues

Roll tide

I think you're going to snow

I think you're one of the big ones is that once you go updated then you said you can do machine learning and we going to

It'll talk about that and that's one of the big disruptors

It's disrupting Us in the education that

Rmit we've Suppply the new College of

Computing

Because every failed we say now is involved in computation of some kind

I think you're going to say something Idol

No no I think

This is one of those things that a x

You might say well I am an industry X

And this one affect me

And the challenges that across-the-board every single the Maine

Is being challenged

By this

Disruption

How many times to to technology in in

Lisa talked about the

That talk that I did

And was precisely looking at ourselves

What is this mean

After the point point of view of Education

John and I were talking yesterday about a new program

Where students are going to start studying technology

In high school

Plus two more years which means they would have six years by the by the

Age of 20

Compare that to your average graduate today

And they perhaps would be

Further along in

You know the impact that this would have

Indication again in around industry

And there are already some projections that say that 50% of the college's

Disappear

It certainly

The strong Brands will remain but how will we look like

When the scary Strokes is a big question so

This question of of transformation

It's a big one regardless of where you are

Well I think University is going to look a lot more like this

I think that's why I waited

We getting into this

Ellie pico

That's the way it's going to be

I think getting back to the neural Nets the

The essential

Sing for me was that suddenly

People are riding

Code

Telling machines to do something

The then the machine

Was learning

To do things

But the human themselves we can't do

And that's pretty amazing that Subway

Machines of doing things that we as humans

Don't know how to do

So web programming machines to learn

On these machines

Out of the normal right you know that's the alphago and

Could reproduce

The hole

Chess history

In 4 hours

And that's that's amazing

Unsolved

We really need to sit back and think

What's going to happen to the Future work in a week

Discussions on that I know

In a water machines going to be able to do

They sent me things machines

We know that

And so we need to understand

Okay what's the new division of labor if you

Between the human on the machine

And that

That's going to be an essential

A Rolls-Royce I think as humans that we going to need pot

Is it going to be machines

And so we better

Blood on the tooling

I know that's a lot of what we going to cover with

The move to cloud is the tooling

Phenomenal Leverage

This is just some of the tools that

You know we're using

But I am I kind of like to do the hello world

This is a contact sport that you have to get your hands on these tools

So you don't need to spend

You know in a week

That we we think we can teach you you know how to use tensorflow

For example

We can teach you how to launch machines in the cloud

Unsolved

I think this new era was

Computation in the tooling

Is changing how we learn

I'm going to be talking about blockchain I know you'll bring that as well

It's the first

Autonomous system

We may not be able to shut down

The

Did this is our system is being run by humans across the world

No

There's no people in charge

Somebody in charge of

One machine and they can shut

Literally there are tens of thousands of these machines

I'm so

With

Blockchain we're seeing a new kind of

I trust being developed

Where we trust the machines We Trust

The code

Rosalyn having to trust

The humans

As I I think you always point a table that this is

Probably its biggest impact maybe as a standard across the world that we all agree

How to talk to this blockchain

Unsolved

That we can all

Issue

Smart contracts we can issue

My transactions on this chain

And

We don't need for Nestle Trussville know the other people that would dealing

So we're going to go into great that's I think with blockchain but it sent me one of these

Technology

As far as learning goes

I talk about it

Ghetto following the ensor

This number of here for npm which is a node package manager the

Wheel

Talking about and teaching your body

There's 8 billion downloads last week

It's probably higher this week

That's amazing. Now you can download libraries and build code

So the program now is not really about writing that much code it's

It's about

Gluing code together

That's

Best both like an amazing

Power that you have

But also we don't know

The individual building blocks that well

So this is Cypress Security problems at

And we don't know how nicely to test

These packages that well in the cloud

Artificial intelligence

Example

Are we don't

We don't know how

To test

When are they going to break

You know as we saw with the trading system

It lost its lost trillion dollars

That's something that

A critical issue

So we're living in this world now we that's volatile uncertain complex

And

We need to operate on a different way

111 software we realize that we have to be agile

But we have to deploy code learn from it

Updated

Correct

On my senses

The business has to operate differently now as well

The weekday dealing with systems that are not mentally stable

We doing the systems that are either come

Assistance or chaotix

Justin Bieber

And in this world

This means that we have to

Test the market

Deploy code fast

Update all codes

Until we're going to be talking

A lot about how that is affecting India

Yes

I was just going to I was just going to make a comment there and that

One of the ways you see this more clearly

Is that

If you look at the average deployment speed of companies in

Fortune 500

You're looking about once every two months

And if you look at the leaders

In the space they're deploying several times a day

And so if it takes you learn longer to learn

You're going to be in trouble

And it is precisely this Loop

The Book of Luke

And these are some

Very clear

Numbers

And you look at organizations then

We often think about many organizations that we know and we stay there in trouble

Because we can see

That they're simply don't have the capabilities

Most fast

But just be

Yeah

On the sky

Developed bicycle doodle Loop

John Boyd

He didn't write that much but he's worth reading

And that's another thing that will be hopefully

Conveying to you this sitting books

You should be reading.

There's people that have haddock

Experiences

Wedding sites

Aaron Paul

He goes inside

You know from

Fighting in war

Where he found the

The US planes were fighting against

The mix

On the big was the superior plane on yet

The app

US1

For some reason what having a high kill ratio

And what he found out what is the

Pilots go through this week

I'm so now this is what we basically I do

In in business

Is

We try to go through this doodle Loop

Faster than our competitors

But that's it that's

An issue for companies

How do you change your culture to do that

So as you

Pony La Table

How do you compete with somebody like Amazon

How do you compete with a Google

No it's clear that you can

But you have you you have to really understand

Who your customer is

I'm on what your advantage

How can you

Be more agile

So I think that's your mission if you like him in school

Is

We put a handsome lot of these Technologies

We want to show you how you can do the same as us

It won't take you that long

In a week

But you could you can learn how to deploy smart contract

How to deploy

A cybersecurity control

So we'd encourage you to follow us just like these little ducklings

We will hopefully lead you

Through this Jungle of information

Islamic information out there

Our goal is to base

Physically

Cut a path through this

And take you to the in Central Point

We think you'll need

How to understand the digital

Transformation

So what's up with that

I'll hand it over I think

Lisa

Headed over to you able

A video about so

Multiple switch

Screen tear

Ableton share

Know when you can see my screen

So thank you John

And Lisa for the introduction

This is something we spend a lot of time thinking about

Luckily enough we get paid

To do it

Are we talk with a lot of companies in many different Industries throughout the world

And so we have the

The advantage of having an overarching comprehensive View

And we touch the technology

We use them in around research and we apply them as well

And so our research for the fall yes for both of us as well as their Consulting engagements

A role in Industry so we're bringing back a lot of that to you

And at the same time as John mentioned that this is

Not something you buy or

Something you finish it is a continuous process

And we're hoping to give you the framework

As to how to

To think about this

Which is as I mentioned not at all easy does it something we wrestle with

Ourselves as well

In one of these topics perhaps one of the most

Poignant examples in the space

Is the question of Cyprus

Security were inundated with messages from the Press

Everywhere we look

There are threats

And so does a challenging environment to ground yourself in to be able to make

Decisions

Datar

That have solid fundamentals and how do you think about this is one of the challenge

And so we touch a number of topics through this through this domain

But I wanted to give you a specific one

That is one of the lessons that we

That we using

The course

And son this case

Precisely when it comes to the question of how

Do you think about security and specially how do you communicate with your leadership

And make this threat that exist

Visible

Is precisely what I'm going to

To be speaking about

So we

We often

Think about this in and we work a lot in the space

If you look at our biased you'll see that

We've been doing this for over 10 years

And would work with government

And we work with industry and we work in the number of the main

Applying machine learning in order to

Snakes in the space and in general

It is one of the biggest problems that we face

Especially when it comes to a shortage of the talent

But one of the

Problems with struggle with is that as opposed to a crime that gets exist that gets

Committed in the physical world where you see somebody holding up a gun

Or you see some riot

A lot of what happens in the cyber world

It's not visible

It happens

On wires

It happens on software

And so how do you understand what this threat is

Is one of the questions that we were thinking

Enter address this side with the cybersecurity

Mighty mighty mighty

There's an experiment that was fun

And the experiment was very simple

For those of you who don't know I did Mighty reset on an open network

That means that there are no

Firewall Sterno

Wall

Between the world

Off the internet and networks

And ourselves

We said

Completely open

Which is great for collaboration

It's great to study the spread

And it's also

Anybody that's on the network right

For a long time the pastor has been if you cannot stand on the network on your on you should not be on the network so there went

Meaning of erratic

Apostrophe

Anna has some historical background

The experiment that was run

Was to take a machine

And simply connected to the network

Turn it on connected to the network

No one was going to touch this

This machine it was not going to be used

It was going to be connected for 12 hours

But that was it

Know what Longwood log on

Nothing would be done in this machine other than

Turning it on

And connecting it to the network

And in addition to that

The attack data

Was going to be collected

This attack data

After this 12 hours wisdom process

The eyepiece that were connected to the machine

It was geocoding being done to them meaning it just spatial resolution

Then furthermore

This this Saturday.

Was created on to a KML

File

Which is

Which makes it possible to be able to absorb it at

Global

On a global comp

So what I'm going to show you next is I'm going to show you

Defile

Of the data

That we saw

It's I'm going to go hide

And open up

Google Earth

And then I'm going to go ahead and select

File

Once it comes up

That has this data

I'm going to

Open that up

And

I'm going to

So bad

On the screen

And if you see my little

Spinner there

It's because

Of the tremendous amount of data

.

Is being loaded

And so what you see here is you see

City of Boston of Cambridge Massachusetts

And there are so many connections that you can't even see the map

It is a tremendous

Volume

Of attacks that were launched app on this machine

That was

Just sitting on the side minding its business

There was an effort as well

To provide a resolution

Of all of the host

The ones in red are known to be

Bad

Players

That they're launching attacks

But the rest of it is not

There's also a coordinated pack

Ohmeda coordinated attack by date distributed attacks throughout the world

Very much every single country on the planet

Is represented with a couple of exceptions

I can let

You are

Two guesses what those are when

In the comments

I bet if I start going across the world in the

Resolution here is a little choppy because we are projecting

But you can get a sense here of what

What's taking place throughout the world

And it is pretty

Solid coverage

Throughout

So let me go ahead and go back

2

My slides

An exit

My

My environments here

And I machine gets a little bit overwhelmed from all the day

The data

Tremendous the one thing that I'll mention is that

When it comes to communicating with leadership

This is one of the most effective

I wish

Audi

The history of MIT that I started to mention and the

Posture

And the policy

The administration had taken

I do to a good historical reasons that we could get into

Was for the very first time

When the administration saw this picture they said

Maybe we should consider firewalls

Maybe we should consider

Additional measures

I can share with you that now there is an option to opt then

To get this types of protections

And in large part it was motivated

By this time of visibility this type of understand

This is this is a a good take away from the

Dealers things to know as well as that the web is now a very large place

At the latest count of the Google index

130 trillion pages

Huge space

At the same time if I were to ask you how long would it take to scan the entire internet

This would be something that most likely

It would say it would take a very long

In for a long time it did take a long time

And this is one of those things that going back to what John was saying

These assumptions that we need to

Reverse that over and over

You can now

Scan the entire internet

That's a 10 million packets per second

In about 6 minutes

So that means that you can launch the type of tax

In cybercriminals are like any other industry

They're creating business products

And they're trying to exploit this vulnerability

With this type of capabilities you can imagine the type of blanket coverage they can

I shouldn't

B2 negative because at the same time and it's also capabilities that the good guys have

And they can start

To get a sense of the bad players on the global

Scale so it is that type of arms race that

Is common in the space I should also say that we talk about patterns and we talk

About waist

To address this

And we try hard

Not to do

The fight the fear in certain

X with it

Cyber-security space is hard not to do

But we give you some good

Ways to to look at

This problem

The last one that I mentioned in this one simply and in the

The contacts

Thinking about examples that are accessible in the

You can share with your organization

Is an example of an experiment that was run the summer

And wear a 225

GPS spoofer

Was

Could be used

To disrupt

GPS

And you can see here sort of the alarm is headline right that

Swiffer can send vehicles on to you

Oncoming traffic

You can see their the components

It's a Raspberry Pi which is

A very low-cost computer

And a handful of other off-the-shelf pipe component

Answer again

This makes

Death threat

Real it makes it accessible and this is a good way often to communicate

With the leadership

And you should have company at with many of the other

Parts that we will

Covering the course

Habitat we wanted to give you a specific taste

Of some of the lessons

That you will be seeing in the class a company invite exercises that would have Hands-On

Touching of the

Technology

That'll pass it back

Thank you both I think that was a really great introduction to the concepts that we

Will be talking about

In the course and some of the amazing content that you can expect

Here so

Let me go back to the slides that I had here so

Just take a few more minutes to give you a little bit more of an orientation around the course

And what you might

Stacked in in coming into this

Horse likes

Stokes

So we divided the course really into four main chunk

Blockchain

Cloud artificial intelligence and iot in Cypress

Security

And within that within each chunk

We have a bunch of videos with with

Are two professors here who who talk about some of these Concepts and and help you learn

A little bit about the technology and and and the implications of the technology

But then the other part of the course which is really exciting is Summit are some of these

Exercises

A van

What's John and Abel talked about these hands on tools

This is a contact

Sports we brought this into the course and really give you the opportunity to work with you

These Technologies

And I'm in in really play around and get it again a better sense for what you can do even at your own death

Stop

So we'll talk about that just a little bit more in a minute but I think that's a really exciting

Part of this

Course

So just to kind of highlight some of the course features again we've got these

Fantastic

Faculty members here that you learn from in video form

And then we've got these days

Incredible Hands-On activities I just

Hold a couple of

Examples here I just

That this is

This is not a spectator

Spectator type of course

This is a course where you're really going to have to actually

Download things onto your computer

Create account

And actually do things like creating your own cyber currency

You know assessing your own sweats how websites are are interacting with the outside

Edd world

These are all things that you will actually do in this course and and you'll be able to

You'll learn how to how to take a real Hands-On approach

I think this makes this course incredibly unique

Enrich

The final feature that I just wanted to

I'm highlight with you is the fact that if you take this course you'll be able to continue to interact

With these two guys with Abel and John and and get the opportunity to take webinar

Guys with them

And importantly we also have a mighty learning facilitators that will be with you all

All along the way

So these are many of them are actually tables former students

These are people that are our experts in this area that are available to you

U2 office hours

And through interacting with you on

Discussion boards in any other ways

To help make sure that your understanding the material that you get any help in some

Support that you need as you go through the course

So we're very pleased to be able to have these guys as

Part of the course

And again and I think this brings a nice tan

A nice sense of

Portland Community

To The Learning Experience

Again this is this course is brought to you from by MIT professional education

That is really is Mission is really to provide this gateway to what's going on at MIT

Through these types of Education

So it is these are all in as you can see these are faculty Todd

3D School of Engineering and and they have a lot of on site

On-campus programs

And then a growing portfolio of online programs

Okay

So with that I think it's time for us to turn to the growing number of Q&A

Questions that are that are showing up in our Q&A box

So I'm going to go ahead and start

Looking through these and I'll pitch some of these

So

Lisa I tie I took a look at

The Q&A and there was a question

Facebook none of this one but it was from 10 people considering taking the course

And they're asking how they might

Convinced that manager to pay for

My my answer to that is but

Wiggle give you tools for example let's suppose you have a website

You're implying people to design your website

We can show you how to test out that website

And find out whether it's performance will not

And we can show you how to do that literally in 22nd

Was built in

You can deploy

Very easily passed out a website

The other one is

Putting up

A web server yourself

Literally you can do it in 20 seconds

So

If you want to convince your manager that you should take this call

It's because

You'll be able to not only control your subcontractors but you'll be able to do things yourself that

You color salt with difficult

But now it's become much easier

So

You know the world is becoming too small complex

Play

The things that used to be difficult

I'm now quite easy

And we want to show you some of those things

That's my answers the yolk

We just about Steve

That we say we're going to take you from being able to run $20 an hour to $200 an hour

Believe me after this course

You'll be worth a lot more

That's a great point then I'll share an experience with their own students

If you think about it

The technology that you would need to be able to do

A recognition of students in the class

There was an effort by a group of them to try to create

The equivalent of a digital PA that gives you

Credit for participation in class

And one of them would be simply was in class are you paying attention

Now you could go away and study the algorithms you could study the theory you could write the code and two years later

Maybe you have

Prototype

A group of students in our class did that

And the reason they did it is because they're using very much the same principles that

We are sharing with you

They're laying or or making use of the abstractions that exist that are very powerful

And allow you to be a lot more productive so when it comes to Roi

I think about that think that

You're saving time

You're making better decisions

And I think that would be a strong argument

Or they said there's a story to share the

That's great thank you

There's a number of people in suspense scanning the question to number people are at this is more of the administrator

Just kind of wondering about the live sessions and

And those types of things

The live sessions will be a combination will have some with these guys and then we'll have office hours

With your learning facilitators

The learning facilitators will be scheduling those throughout the week

So that you can join when it's

When you have

The time to do so when it fits with your schedule

Live sessions with with John and Abel will generally be around this time

Time of day so

You know they're located here in in

Cambridge Massachusetts so

So we generally on schedule those for the

For the beginning of the day East Coast time so that

That tends to spend the most

Time zones for everybody I know it doesn't always work for everyone but that's

We did the best we can with the global audience

We do record every session so if you're not able to attend

You'll certainly have access to the recording and so so not to worry

Other than that that the course is fairly self-paced

And somebody else was asking about how it works we will

Roll out new material every week

And with that material there will be a new set of assignments to go through

And I'm you questions for you to to explore and and Technologies for you.

Explorer

How you when you say roll lives I mean this website

Correct material is going to be on the web

That's right that's right we have at a learning management system at a platform

So to speak that where we have everything

We don't we

This is a test totally self-paced course

So we do open up it open up new material every week

So that everyone is going through it more or less at the same time

And we do that again because we're creating this community and we have discussion boards when you can be

Talking to each other in

Thank you

At least I just a comment on some of the questions that I'm seeing in there some question around is it more of a business course or more

More of an engineering course and

You know how much of the code do you need to touch

Is John mention where we're shooting for that 5-minute experience that can ground your thinking

And for example I do an example of

How do you create a chatbot write a chatbot uses artificial intelligence that uses

Data

Enlarge

And large collections that have been amassed by the big vendors

And I do in 5 minutes

Right and so

Having

Create a chatbot

It's completely different

And you will never

Never have the same level of understanding

If you've touched it

If you've done it

Verses that if you've just read about it

And so we are asking you to touch technology

But we're very conscious that you're not going to be a computer scientist

And that you do not have

Too much time because this is

Professional education so

We are sticking to the hours per week and maybe you can say something about the volume of work Lisa

But we do

We have created this course with that in mind

That you're not a technology

Is that you're not an engineer

But that you

You will be able

A lot of fun

Being able to create a chatbot

Being able to create a cryptocurrency

It's

It really opens up

Your palate

Thinking and

That's an exciting

Yes we really do want to get your hand you want we want you to get your hands dirty with this stuff without without

Getting to bog down and in the technology behind it but to give you that

That

Flavor fruit for how does actually work so you're not just looking at it

Conceptually

You can really get a sense

For some of the tools that are out there

Amazing

Amazing amazing the way that we we bring meat into the course

The learning effort

Generally Beast a four to six hours a week of that to some of that time is spent on video

And then the other

Part of that time is spent

I'm theone on the assignments would you also have some knowledge checks just to make sure that you're

I'm understanding what's going on in this

If you're not getting a concept 2

CSUN alert yourself that you needs it

Go back and review something

But a lot of the focus is really on these application activities

So

So that's fantastic

I think we could answer this question but I keep seeing it so many times that people are wondering is this

Just appropriate for me if I'm self-employed and not part of an organization

I'm a consultant to organizations but I don't have my own organization

I would say absolutely there's there's nothing that says you need to be part of an organization

To do this

Lisa and this new gig economy going to be working

So absolutely I saw I saw there was a question from a lawyer

Honey

And actually

The whole side of security area is opening up for attorney

We have we have some coming lecture about summer cool

The first thing that happens if you are attacked

Get yourself a good attorney

A man that serious advice

So some of these things

As well

You know we're very much aware of the business contacts

But I think

It's this kind of new tooling which is

Changing the way business works

I'm so

For you to make decisions these days

You need to understand not just

The very high level was able was saying

You can read about this

Until you touched it

You want have a good understanding of what it can do when what

Concert

And that's what we want to give you the

And I'm wearing Susie Astic about some of these things

But we're also a very much aware of

The difficulties on the

Maybe the failing season

Haha

It was a dream if you like for many years and now it's happened and it didn't quite happen

Technologies going to be like

We will give you that hands-on experience

If that's okay

On the table saying you know we have stayed

Weeks

Can write

Something that

5 years ago I would probably

$5000000

You know right

10 diploid

And now you can do it in the

And just to add to that because of the questions that I'm seeing is

Someone wrote about how to challenge a technology team when they're making a presentation

In one of the things that we often see both John and I especially in the area of blockchain and we cringe

The claims that are being made

Is that there's a lot of misinformation

A lot of products that

Don't really exist

And yet they're being successful in the market and so

We will speak to this quite a bit during

Course in and give you some

Some Basics that you can carry cereal

CNN

And certainly

Be able to see weather say a cryptocurrency

Has any Merit

Or any of the claims that they are making our are actually

Have a chance of

The Impossible

Let's see what

What else can we can we ask I think a lot of people I've seen a lot of

Common themes in the in the questions here

I know one person ask then again this is a little bit more on the administrative side

Some concern about the holidays what do I do do I want to start a course when the holidays are coming

I will tell you that we take

I'm a couple of weeks off during the holidays and we don't release new material during that the holiday

Headaches during the two-week of

Two weeks of the holiday season I think it's Christmas week and New Year's week

So if that's a concern not to worry we actually stretch this course out a little bit to accommodate that

So you can so so you can rest assured it won't say it won't ruin your holiday season although

I think many people likes to suspend that time kind of catching up and you'll have so many new things to play with if

You do like technology so you can use the holidays too

To go back in and play some more

So

Alright

So I think we've got

And also some questions and that in the chat

I do encourage you to put it into the Q&A box

So

So anyway so let me look over here and

This is kind of an interesting question this

Participant is asking about my role is to identify use cases based on AI

RPA Based on data dump slice-and-dice using text analysis can I be able to create you

Cases of blockchain chain iot

That kind of thing and it is from this course will this help them

Put together use cases

Honest Technologies

Lisa ammonite

So what type of light ticket cost

Introduction to Computing and data science

So one of the things we can cover it

In depth

Is one of the biggest problems with data science

Exactly cleaning the data

Resting the day for into a form

But you can deploy Tool song

I'm so we actually cover that

Quite well

So the first part of the question to buy

Actually handling realdata we do that

It's amazing insights you can get from

From data I was going to talk about Boston we got

The whole lot of Boston

Cities data

What they pay people unemployment

And it gives you amazing insights into Highway city is wrong

Really scary inside

Sentinel

You know this intense now instrumentation of the corporation

Is something that everyone is doing

But the problem is

What do you do with that date

So having lots of data

Is

Let It Go you need to clean it

And make sure that you connect

Actually

Deploy the tools on it

Cleveland

An understand what it means

And so being a data scientist is going to what are the things that with t

Teaching us to

And based on that experience

It's part of this course as well

Mates rates

Just to be clear I see a number of people asking about you

Higher knowledge

Prerequisites that kind of thing

Would you suggest that they have a grounding in any particular area in order to make the most of it

Discourse

Yeah I think

I was just going to say that this does not require

Does not have any prerequisites

And so we are expecting the majority of people to be decision-makers meaning

You either wearing engineer a long time ago and haven't touched ichnology for the last 10 years plus

Or you wearing NBA and

Never had the technology

And so are

Goal is to give you access an interesting Lee enough

Whether you wear an engineer or an MBA it's much the same challenge

Can I see where

Star engineer writing for Intel operating systems

Tendonitis

Guess what

It is a completely different world

The stars are now different people to technology

Completely

I changed

And so

Again you do not need to have

For this course meaning

You do not need to

Know how to

Write code

It helps if you do

But it's

It's

The start of things that the basics

We will we will be asking the students to write lots of time but will be giving them coyotes

That we want to run

I'm so that's a framework that they can that alter

But we do want to

We we do want them to get involved in that

Because it makes

Such a difference

As I was showing that one slide you know this

800000 libraries that they can take advantage of

So if you ever want to write something

You know you want to put up a web server

It's literally

You can do it no one line of code now

Sorry I mean that one line is cooling lots of other code

It's very compact

I'm sorry

Today you're not right it's not

It's like the old story about

Knowing which

You know I'm down to hit with a hammer

But you got a hammer but

You have to

Know what the heck

I'm sorry

It's the same today there's a lot of information out there

YouTube

If you can find on YouTube

It's millions of videos that they will take you

Alone time

How to find your way through the

So

Again where it where we want to be like guides showing you

Okay this is the path that these are the main points that you need one.

Now you can go off and explore around

You know you can spray off that path yourself

Will will take you by the hand through

The jungle

That's a great point in the

There's not too much content

And when you make a search say for blockchain you might get a million hits back

Worthy start reading

Did I might take you two weeks

To figure out one component of it and what about the rest

And so like Jonathan Argo list

To give you a set of

Curated

Experiences in

Content that we've tried in the classroom and

In other types of context or that are part of Greece

Search that we have done

In

And make this accessible

Great well I'm watching the timing and went to sit at a time I just had a couple of

A closing that I wanted to say first of all thank you so much

A valentine for being here today for sharing this is fascinating perspectives

I think we've given people a good sense for what you know for what's in the course

If your question hasn't gotten answered

And I know that there are there have been a lot of questions coming in there still coming in

New hat we have program advisor standing by that can help answer your specific question

I know we couldn't get to everything today

But if you have a burning question they really trying to figure out is this a good course for me

That's what our program advisors are there for

Do reach out to them talk to them about your concerns or your situation and they can help you make

That decision so

If they have questions by the way they're they're turning to us and we're going

To The Faculty even if if we need to get those answered so we want to make sure that you can have the information you need

To make a good decision about the course

I will also say that I think we're going to post on the chat a link

To the to the registration page

So if I could ask somebody from the program support team at there we go they were just waiting for me to say that I think

I think you just sent it to the panelists so

Just make sure that we've got it to all the attendees as well

So if you are a few

If you're intrigued by what you've heard today and you want to go ahead and apply please you

Click on the the link there again I'm not sure there we go now I think everybody

There's the link for the application it's also on the MIT professional education website

As well

See you can find more information there

All right well with that I think I'm going to go ahead and close

Close the webinar so thanks again to our outstanding faculty for being here with us

Today

I'm in sharing their own fascinating perspectives

And thank you to everybody who's attending

Hope you'll consider this course and I'm come back for more at MIT

And I hope to see you there

Take care everybody and have a good rest of your day

Goodbye

Nikki Glaser

Thank you everyone take care

Bye bye

Bye bye
