Course Overview:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science behind systems that can program themselves to classify, predict, and recommend.

This instructor-led course explains how AI systems understand, reason, learn and interact. Learn from industry experience on AI use cases; develop a deeper understanding of machine learning techniques and the algorithms that power those systems and propose solutions to real world scenarios leveraging AI methodologies.

Students who successfully complete this training will earn a digital badge from IBM.

Why Study AI?

AI is the science behind systems that can program themselves to classify, predict, and recommend from structured and unstructured data. For millennia, humans have pondered the idea of building intelligent machines. Ever since, AI has had highs and lows, demonstrated successes, and unfulfilled potential.

Today, AI is empowering people and changing our world. Netflix recommends movies from the long tail, Amazon recommends the popular brand from a list, cars learn when to pass the vehicle in front, and robots distinguish trash from dishes to be washed.

In this course, we will explain how AI systems understand, reason, learn and interact; learn from industry experience on AI use cases; develop a deeper understanding of machine learning techniques and the algorithms that power those systems, and propose solutions to real-world scenarios leveraging AI methodologies and techniques.

Learning objectives:

• Define the characteristics of AI applications.
• Understand AI concepts and benefits.
• Explain AI use cases and applications.
• Create a simple machine learning model.
• Conduct optimization and model tuning.
• Differentiate between various AI solutions across a variety of industries and use-cases.
• Identify an appropriate machine solution to solve a given business problem.
