About the course

This Artificial Intelligence training consists of 2 days designed to provide you with a complete perspective of AI. You will be guided and challenged to identify and capture AI opportunities while managing risks like biased or polluted data, undesired differentiation, and corrupt algorithmic learning approaches. We apply AI cases with real data and machine learning algorithms so you can experience what developing and operating AI models entails. You will learn to better understand the process and what questions to ask to challenge the outcome and quality. This AI course is packed with industry insights and terminology, as well as practical challenges. It is developed by AI experts with extensive experience in teaching and implementing AI at the heart of many global top 500 companies, such as eBay and Heineken.
