Now that AI and machine learning are widespread, people are starting to ask, "Is the technology actually making the best decisions? Can AI be trusted? How and where do humans fit in?" Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) is a solution that increases transparency about how AI systems make decisions and take actions. This course provides a solid introduction of how XAI works and the value it provides to data science-related businesses and initiatives from legal and commercial perspectives. Instructor Aki Ohashi, director of business development for PARC, a Xerox company, bridges the gap between AI's potential and pitfalls, presenting executives, entrepreneurs, managers, and team leaders with exactly what they need to know to stay on top of how AI affects their fields. He uses real-world examples and cases studies to show what XAI is, how it works, how it's being used right now, and where it may have the most impact in the future.

Arriving at the best exposure for a photo is part science and part art. Technology is on your side, but sometimes, to get the image you want, you have to override your camera's controls. In Photography Foundations: Exposure, Ben Long helps photographers expand their artistic options by giving them a deeper understanding of shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and all the other critical aspects of exposure. Part one of this two-part series explores the basics: concepts such as tone, dynamic range, and reciprocity, and how they relate to the settings on your digital camera. You can learn how to use a light meter and your camera's histogram, adjust the brightness and detail in your photos, prevent blur, and understand exactly how the auto modes work. By the end of the course, you'll know how to develop an "exposure strategy" that you can employ in any shooting situation.

Software-defined networking (SDN) allows administrators to programmatically configure, control, and deploy cloud resources—leading to better network performance and lower operating costs. In this course, you can review all the tiers of SDN architecture, including applications, controllers, and the OpenFlow protocol for network communication. Learn about OpenFlow "flows" that determine packet routing and review demos of eight different OpenFlow topologies. Review SDN and OpenFlow architectures using physical, logical, and reserved ports and physical, virtual, and hybrid switches, such as Raspberry Pi and Mininet. Find out what happens when a controller fails, and how to use applications such as OpenDaylight and Wireshark to administer and monitor your network. Instructor David Bombal also answers a number of frequently asked questions about OpenFlow and software-defined networks.

Get a quick introduction to software-defined networking (SDN) and OpenFlow, the SDN communications protocol. This quick-start guide was created for cloud administrators that don't have a lot of time, but who want to leverage an SDN to centralize and automate network provisioning and maintenance. Instructor David Bombal introduces SDN terms and definitions, and reviews core related technologies such as Docker, Open vSwitch (OVS), and OpenDaylight (ODL). David also walks you through a number of hands-on examples: using OpenFlow controllers as programmable patch panels, incorporating an HP Enterprise VAN SDN controller and OVS, working with Linux and Docker containers, and managing OpenFlow packet capture with Wireshark.
