What is STEAM in AI?
The traditional definition of STEAM means Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math. DataEthics4All Foundation's definition of STEAM also includes Sociology, Technical Education, Ethics, Analytics and Mentoring! Today, there exist many new linear as well as non-linear STEAM career paths that we'd like our students to be aware of and be able to take advantage of by choosing a career in STEAM whether or not Math, Science or Coding are their biggest passions. AI is going to be used in every Industry in the future from healthcare to construction and everything in between. DataEthics4All Foundation believes that combining the traditional with this new definition of STEAM will bring the much needed STEAM in AIᵀᴹ!!We've taken into consideration these 10 important pillars of Artificial Intelligence
