Artificial Intelligence: Practical Essentials for Management

Why this course: 70% of AI initiatives in organizations fail today not because of a lack of good AI solutions but because of a lack of understanding of AI among the managers - the end users, decision makers and investors in AI. Recruiters & Executives are struggling to find business professionals with a practical understanding of AI. This course is designed specifically to teach current and future managers all that they need to know to lead and manage AI use, without having to code and build AI models. You will: 

1) Learn both technical & managerial aspects of AI 

2) Identify the right AI solution & learn rare managerial frameworks to lead AI journeys successfully in an organization.

3) Get recognized in the use and management of AI/ML/DL by getting certified.

4) Gain competitive advantage in a hiring process or at work by being AI ready.
