Introduction to AI with Great Learning

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

This course is for people who want to know more about the uses of AI in practice. This course is offered in conjunction with PGP-DSE as it is important for data scientists and data analysts to know about AI in order to make business decisions. The course is completely non-technical.

About the course

AI is not only for techies. If you want you or your organization to become better at using AI, this is the course you should go for. In this course, you will learn the meaning behind common AI terminology, including Neural Networks, Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. This will be explained with the help of a case study and real world examples.
