Why This Course Was Created

With the recent AI boom, there are numerous technical AI courses for engineers, particularly those focusing on the basics of AI creation. However, many people who have learned the basics of AI structure find that their knowledge does not translate into practical business applications, resulting in merely theoretical understanding.

Among the AI technologies that have become popular in recent years, some are being gradually integrated into society, some are highly revolutionary but not yet practical, and some are purely visionary. These are all discussed under the same term "AI" in the media, making it difficult to grasp what AI is truly useful for business and what should be learned.

In this flood of information, we wanted to organize and convey AI technologies that are beneficial for business. That is why this course was created.
