The world of technology has been revolutionized with a seemingly infinite supply of computing power, along with extraordinary advancements in artificial intelligence to augment and automate current avenues.
Machine Learning (ML), a branch of Artificial Intelligence, has been gaining significant momentum with practical applications in medicine, biometric security, robotics, manufacturing, autonomous driving, gaming, and more.
The market opportunity for machine learning is expected to grow 10-fold in the next decade and reach approximately $300 billion. Beyond the market opportunity, Machine Learning is opening avenues that were previously impossible.
This promise makes Machine Learning an integral part of our near future. However, current high school curricula have not yet incorporated machine learning to raise awareness among students.
As a student researcher, I was fortunate to gain opportunities from professors at local universities to conduct Machine Learning experiments and compete at local and international science fairs. However, research opportunities far outnumber available resources.
“Speramus Meliora” (“We hope for better things”) and “Resurgent Cineribus” (“It will rise from the ashes”) — these mottos embody the quintessential spirit of Detroiters.
As the birthplace of the modern automobile, Detroit has forever been chiseled in our memory as the “Motor City”. Detroit is also home to premier healthcare institutions such as Henry Ford Health and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
Today’s perspective of automobiles is vastly different from what it used to be. In 2017, Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors, famously stated, “There are tens of millions of lines of code in the vehicle today, which wasn’t true five or six years ago.”
In 2021, Marius Mihailovici, Managing Director of Porsche Engineering, claimed, “100 million. This is how many lines of code feature in today’s car. By comparison, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner only has 14 million.”
Beyond the number of lines of code, it is the functionality of the code in automobiles that will drive advanced research using machine learning to revolutionize our perspective of tomorrow’s car.
The same impact is being felt in medicine, with machine learning solutions rapidly augmenting healthcare professionals to perform functions that were unthinkable just a few years ago.
These lightning-fast advancements require a rapid increase in resources for conducting research in Machine Learning. That is why we embarked on our journey to raise awareness of machine learning in the Detroit community, encouraging people from different backgrounds to bring forward ideas which may, one day, create something revolutionary.
“Why Detroit?” What better place to seek such collaboration than Detroit — the epicenter of the automobile industry, the home of premier healthcare institutions, and above all, a cultural melting pot with people from diverse backgrounds. For those who say Detroit is yesterday’s city, I say “Resurgent Cineribus.”
