Program Overview
AI and machine learning are changing our world and powering the 4th Industrial Revolution. Due to the ability of machines to learn from past experiences, AI is poised open the door to business automation. AI-powered solutions can help companies gain a competitive advantage by creating better products and services tailored to their customers, reduce risk of failures or downtime, reduce costs thanks to predictive maintenance, increase operational efficiency, improve safety and compliance, instantly process data, and to get a better understanding of their customers.
This training program consists of 40 hours of instructor-led training and self-paced readings. The instructor lead training combines traditional teaching components with case studies, in-class discussions and hands-on activities performed on virtual labs, to enable working knowledge and experience with Business Intelligence and its related tools.
This program will allow participants to:
- Acquire knowledge and practical skills in the design and implementation of AI-based solutions.
- Gain an in-depth understanding of AI related concepts, including - machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, applications of AI in the industry and government and applying machine learning algorithms to specific problems.
- Analyse scenarios and use cases for potential transition to an AI-based solution.
- Apply the learned concepts and gain hands-on skills with practical AI platforms and tools, such as Watson Studio.
- Obtain an IBM Digital Certification in Artificial Intelligence.
Upon completing this training you will be able to:
- Ensure that your business/organisation stays relevant by exploring the opportunities for AI-based solutions.
- Analyse the suitability and potential benefits of AI deployments in your organisation.
- Design, implement, and deploy Artificial Intelligence applications, using the IBM Watson services
- Secure Artificial Intelligence-based applications.
- Integrate Artificial Intelligence-based applications with existing systems.
- Become a certified Artificial Intelligence Analyst.
