I can’t recommend these classes enough. I’ve taken the iPhone Development, Intro to Artificial Intelligence, Intro to Databases, and Machine Learning classes.

It’s my thought that the future of education will not be 4 year degrees on site, but life long learning at home.

If you need to brush up on some math first try Khan Academy, Wolfram Math World.

Stanford is offering free online classes in Machine Learning and Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

I’ve taken their iPhone programming class and it was fantastic. I’m going to take the AI class to brush up on things and the Machine Learning to learn some new things.

Classes begin Oct 10 and run through mid Dec 2011.

A Twitter friend working in artificial intelligence clued me into this cool open source project that’s just getting going.

Stephen Larson has a talk on Evolving AI: Lt. Data will be Born from Artificial Worms, you can watch the talk on YouTube.. There is a virtual worm project on Caltech

The general idea is to start with a digital form of a simple life form and evolve it into a general intelligence much as we have evolved from simple origins. Unlike the real world the computer can run through millions of evolutions in a very short time.

An open source project openworm has been started. You’ll find source code and demos there.

To bring you up to speed on worms you’ll want to dig through C. Elegans II an online textbook on C. elegans.

Also you’ll want to dig into WebGL which is used to create the 3D world demos.
