Every day we get confronted with news of how AI is revolutionising the way we live, work and play. As the topic of AI is not well understood the spread of information through vlogs, articles and blogs is highly biased so that there is confusion about what is applicable today and more importantly, what is still considered a research area. Most people have little options when it comes to studying the subject of AI. One option is to go back to university but for the majority of executives this is not an option mainly because of time constraints. The other option is to sign up for short online AI courses offered by a variety of academic institutions. These online programmes are costly, dont cover enough detail and are time consuming, still. Companies spend a massive amount of time and money on chasing so-called use cases often with disappointing outcomes. Instead of blindly chasing use cases we believe that it makes more sense to get trained on the fundamentals of AI. Many use cases have not been validated technically and even if they were validated technically, there may not be a valid business case. Deloitte developed this course according to following design principles: Complete course covering the vast majority of AI, Machine Learning & Deep Learning subjects in a logical sequenceFocus on understanding the fundamentals Short Course - 75 minutes of animated videoShort Learning Units - MicrolearningThe course is not a walk in the park but covers the majority of AI topics. We start with fundamentals and progress to popular classification algorithms like Random Forest and XGBoost. Subsequently we cover clustering, anomaly detection and recommender engines. The final chapter covers deep learning, computer vision and generative deep learning.
