Anyone who:

  • Wants to utilize AI in their daily work
  • Wants to automate tasks and work more efficiently
  • Is curious about AI but is unfamiliar with technical jargon
  • Needs to speak confidently about AI in meetings and decisions
  • Is a marketer, manager, consultant, entrepreneur, or business professional
  • Wants a better understanding of AI in general
  • Wants hands-on experience, not just theory

No coding experience required. No prerequisites.

This intensive online course hosted on Canvas provides students with a comprehensive introduction to artificial intelligence, covering fundamental concepts, algorithms, and real-world applications.

Students will explore the historical development of AI, understand core machine learning paradigms, and examine how AI systems solve complex problems across various domains.

The course emphasizes hands-on learning through interactive activities, algorithm implementation, and analysis of contemporary AI applications, including neural networks, computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics.

Students will develop both theoretical understanding and practical skills necessary to evaluate, design, and implement AI solutions.

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Analyze the foundations of artificial intelligence by comparing AI approaches with human intelligence and understanding historical developments in the field
  2. Classify and implement core AI algorithms including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning techniques
  3. Design and evaluate machine learning models using appropriate algorithms, data preprocessing, and validation methodologies
  4. Apply probability theory and statistical concepts to understand uncertainty, distribution modeling, and decision-making in AI systems
  5. Assess ethical implications and biases in AI systems and propose solutions for responsible AI development
  6. Develop practical AI applications across diverse domains including games, healthcare, finance, and creative industries
  7. Integrate hardware considerations into AI system design and understand computational requirements for different AI approaches

 

Upon successful completion of this course, students will:

  • Differentiate between various AI paradigms including symbolic AI, connectionist approaches, and hybrid systems
  • Implement fundamental machine learning algorithms including perceptrons, decision trees, and neural networks
  • Analyze datasets using clustering, classification, and regression techniques with appropriate evaluation metrics
  • Apply probability distributions and statistical methods to model uncertainty in AI decision-making processes
  • Evaluate AI systems for bias, fairness, and ethical considerations in real-world deployment scenarios
  • Design AI solutions for specific application domains including game-playing, image recognition, and natural language processing
