Artificial Intelligence for Business Leaders

Course Summary

 

Artificial intelligence is a technology that has only appeared in recent years but has rapidly become the standard for many organisations and industries. The goal of artificial intelligence is ultimately to improve business productivity and reduce necessary resources.

 

 

To effectively implement and manage an artificial intelligence system, it is important to have an in-depth understanding of the types of artificial intelligence and machine learning systems, their typical processes, and structures. With this knowledge, it will be far easier to evaluate existing business functions and identify areas where AI could potentially improve.

 

 

The goal of AI is to increase productivity, reduce costs and reduce resources. However, an overuse of AI can pose many ethical issues. AI has been proven to effectively conduct the tasks of human employees, causing those roles to become redundant. When managing an organisation, it is crucial to find the balance of AI systems and human employees, as AI may not replace the personable relationship a business can build with their customers.


 


 

During this course, you’ll learn:

 

To understand the importance of implementing artificial intelligence functions into a business.
To identify ways in which artificial intelligence can benefit a business and improve productivity.
To assess the technologies involved in creating an effective artificial intelligence system.
To follow a detailed process of planning, designing, implementing, and measuring performance of an artificial intelligence system.
To analyse the social, environmental, and ethical implications of artificial intelligence.
To examine the past, present and make careful predictions about the future of artificial intelligence.
To ensure a balance between artificial intelligence and human employees.

 

This course is designed for anyone who wishes to develop artificial intelligence systems to improve business functions. It would be most beneficial for:

 

Business Owners
Senior Executives
Operations Managers
IT Managers
Chief Information Officers (CIOs)
Artificial Intelligence Engineers
Machine Learning Engineers
Business Analysts

 

This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will assess case studies of established artificial intelligence systems in businesses to highlight key features and processes.

 

 

Participants will partake in a variety of learning exercises including presentations, group discussions, demonstrations, and practical activities. They will be provided all the necessary tools to complete these tasks as accurately as possible. Utilising their knowledge, they will have the opportunity to design and create an artificial intelligence system in relation to their specific roles. This will ensure they develop a full and comprehensive understanding of the taught content.
