Key Outcomes

This 10-week online program is designed to provide software developers, data science professionals, and other professionals aiming to advance their technical AI skills, allowing them to solve more complex challenges and add more value to their organization. Participants who complete the program will be prepared to:

  • Translate a problem from an English statement into something an AI-based system can understand.

  • Learn techniques that search for solutions in high-dimensional spaces, including randomized approaches to search.

  • Formulate a problem as a set of constraints and an objective, and apply the most appropriate algorithms to find an efficient solution.

  • Evaluate the implementation of recommender systems, search engines, personal assistants, and other AI technologies.

  • Analyze common approaches for integrating human feedback into AI systems and next-level thinking around human-computer interactions.

  • Evaluate the ethical and societal implications of the field of AI

Who Should Attend

This program is designed for participants interested in expanding their technical understanding of AI principles and how to solve more complex problems using these tools and techniques. This program may be most suitable for the following:

Software Developers/Technology Professionals seeking to gain a foundational understanding of AI processes and apply them in their work.

Data Science Professionals looking to develop an understanding of modern computational techniques for developing AI-based solutions.

Other Professionals who want to develop decision support systems (such as medical support or recommender systems), plan and monitor AI systems, develop mixed initiatives, and bring humans into the AI loop.

PREREQUISITES: Functional knowledge of calculus, linear algebra, probability, and statistics is beneficial. Participants should also have a working-level knowledge of Python, algorithm design, and data structures.

Take a self-assessment test to verify your readiness for the math and Python content in this program.

Program Exercises

Throughout the program, you’ll have the opportunity to apply your understanding of the content by completing computational problems and evaluating AI applications and methods in the context of practical problems. Example exercises include:

  • Define a search problem and apply it to the Candy Grab game (defining game state and actions)

  • Use adversarial search and the minimax algorithm to identify a winning strategy for the Candy Grab game and rewarding players

  • Define variables, domains, and constraints in a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP)

  • Run a search to find a solution to a CSP

  • Apply heuristics (Minimum Remaining Values (MRV) and Least Constraining Value (LCV)) to a CSP

Visual Case Study: Human-AI Interaction

As part of an original visual case study, you will deploy a new AI application for use in hospitals.

  • Immerse yourself in a simulated environment where you define considerations for an AI system interacting with humans, ensuring the deployment is both usable and explainable, transparent, fair, and ethical.

  • Explore various scenarios to support decision making as you build the AI application.

  • Present a business case to deploy this AI application at the end of the module.
