Submission Date
for Students

Assessment background / scenario:

You are working as a Machine Learning Engineer for a small AI technology R&D company called Tayako Technologies. As part of your role, you lead on educational, research, analysis and development projects relating to emerging and innovative technology. The primary offering of the company is the provision of consultancy, training, analysis and development of AI technologies.

Your company has taken on a new client, a multi-national online retailer of motor and motorcycles called Bento Motors, and your manager has asked you to lead on managing all projects in relation to this new client.

Assessment Task 1 – Critical Report

Bento Motors have a large technology team but none of their team members have specialist knowledge in AI technology. You have been asked to produce a report for the senior leadership team on various emerging and innovative AI technologies, including (but not limited to): 

• Evolution of AI (history to current developments)
• Various uses of AI, such as Image Processing, Computer Vision, Robotics, Pattern Recognition, Speech Recognition, Conversational Agents and Chatbots, etc.
• Intelligent system design principles
• AI concepts and development techniques such as:

o Machine Learning
o Classification and Prediction
o Supervised, Unsupervised and Reinforcement Learning
o Data Analysis
o Deep Learning
o Neural Networks
o NLP
o Expert Systems

• Legal, social, ethical and professional issues surrounding AI and its sub-components.

You need to ensure you critically evaluate on the above concepts as the aim of the report is to be circulated to the senior leadership team at Bento Motors, so that they can decide on which AI technologies to implement in their company. The senior leadership team do not have expertise in computing and therefore, the report must take this into consideration.

Report format:

Your submission must take the form of a report. The first page of the report must be a title page which should clearly state your name and student ID, and other details such as the title, date etc. You must have a header consisting of your names, exercise number and a footer that causes all pages to be numbered in the format x of y (e.g. 2 of 6). The file should be named as follows: <first name>_<surname>_<student id>.docx, where <first-name>, <surname> and <student id> are your first name, your surname and your student ID, respectively. 10% of the marks are awarded for presentation.

Self-reflection, action planning and Critical thinking

The level of understanding demonstrated in this work is limited. The self-reflection has a poorly defined focus, little critical reflection and there are failings in the use of a reflective model. Events are treated at a surface level.

Actions are undefined and may not be fully linked to self-reflection. Key areas of self-reflection are not discussed and there are some significant issues that need addressing.

The level of understanding demonstrated in this work is adequate. The self- reflection has a focus, however, the critical reflection is somewhat brief.

Events are described, but not analysed in depth. Actions are clear and there is some link with self-reflection, but more use could be made of strategies to make them achievable. There are some significant areas that could be expanded upon, clarified or corrected.

The level of understanding demonstrated in this work is satisfactory to good. The self-reflection has a clear focus, however, the critical reflection is brief in some areas. Events are used to aid in reflection, but could be more fully analysed in some areas. Actions are clear and link with self- reflection, and there is a clear use of strategies to make them achievable. However, there are some significant areas  that could be expanded upon, clarified or corrected.

The level of understanding demonstrated in this work is very good level of understanding. The self-reflection is clearly focussed and justified and critical reflection is in evidence throughout. Events are used to aid in reflection, and fully analysed.

Actions are clear and link with the self- reflection, and use strategies very well to make them achievable. However, there are some areas that could be expanded upon, clarified or corrected.

The level of understanding demonstrated in this work is excellent. The self-reflection is fully justified and strongly focussed.

Critical reflection is used at a high level throughout. Events are closely linked to the self-reflection and fully analysed at all points. Actions lead on seamlessly from the self-reflection and make full use of strategies to make them achievable. The work shows a high level of self-awareness, use of self-reflection as a integral part of working and formulation of long-term planning.
