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, ChatGPT 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 as clustering, classification, (customised) GPTs, voice and music generation and expert systems.
In this journey, we assume the participant has a basic awareness of data equivalent to “Data Driven Foundation”. You can follow this journey first however and fill in your knowledge gaps with the data driven learning path later.
This learning journey is accredited to the BCS Essentials level – see course materials for more info. The journey prepares you for the exam which you can take via Exin which requires a separate exam voucher (contact us for more information).
Following on from this journey, you can progress to the AI Brevet (NL AI Coalition) or AI Foundation course for more depth or consider the Generative AI and Prompting course for image, text and sound generation.
