Program Overview
Diploma in Artificial Intelligence
Overview
Artificial Intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence by machines. Machines that exhibit human traits like learning and problem solving. In today’s world, businesses looking to gain an edge over their competition, use different forms of Artificial Intelligence to learn about their customers in an effort to improve their understanding of a customer’s needs and wants. We are offering an AI course in which the professional Diploma in Artificial Intelligence takes a deep dive into the area of Machine Learning, Data Mining and Statistics. Using tools including Jupyter Notebooks and Python, it goes through all stages, from model training to deploying models into a production, that a business requires to start harnessing the power of AI into their organisation. This programme will enable learners to demonstrate how Artificial Intelligence can be introduced into their respective organisations in the form of Machine Learning. It will take them through the process of extracting data, using it to train models and using these models as part of the infrastructure of the organisation in order to take advantage of the benefits that Artificial Intelligence has to offer. This diploma has been designed for learners with non-cognate backgrounds and no technical knowledge or those with cognate background but lacking technical skills and knowledge.
