Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science. It is essentially teaching a computer how to mimic thinking and decision making like a human. Our goal is to create ‘thinking’ machines that can help us perform complex tasks faster and more efficiently. AI systems can analyze a lot of data, identify patterns, and make recommendations for us. Imagine a computer that can solve puzzles, recognize pictures, and even carry on an interesting conversation with people. In this program, you will explore insights into Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies, tools, and techniques. This program covers concepts of artificial intelligence, machine learning, AI in business, data science, AI in the cloud, modern applications of AI, and the future of AI.
