Step into the wonderful world of Artificial Intelligence (AI).  This learning journey takes you through the technology and techniques that lie behind smart applications such as expert systems and image recognition.  We explain what AI is, addressing basic techniques such as Data Analytics, Machine Learning and Deep Learning and cover application areas such numerical models, classification, chatbots, voice and recognition, natural language processing and expert systems.

In this journey, we assume the participant has a starting knowledge of data equivalent to “Data Driven Business I – Foundation”.  You can follow this journey first however and fill in your knowledge gaps with the data driven business journey later.

This learning journey is accredited to the BCS Essentials level – see course materials for more info.  The journey prepares you of the exam which you can take via Exin (contact us for more information).
