Overview
Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML) is fast becoming a crucial part of business processes and is touted to be the key to successful digital transformation. However, these phrases remain buzzwords to many business executives. Without a basic understanding of AI/ML, the participation of these key personnel will be limited, and such digital transformations may fall short.
This 2-day course is for business / non-technical managers or executives, and it seeks to introduce and demystify these machine learning concepts. The objective of this course is to equip business managers and executives with the foresight and relevant technical grounding to transform their businesses digitally.
What You’ll Learn
Introduction to AI and ML
- Participants will be introduced to various popular buzzwords and demystify terms such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, neural networks, and deep learning.
AI state of the art
- Participants will be exposed to state-of-the-art technologies in AI (e.g., object detection, natural language processing, etc.) across sectors such as finance, human resource, etc.
- Participants will appreciate that AI is not a silver bullet and there are still many limitations that AI is unable to solve.
- Participants are expected to submit a proposal how AI might possibly be applied in their workplace.
AI Strategy, Expectations and Considerations
- Participants will be exposed to several AI strategies relevant to their firms during digital transformations.
- Based on the proposal, participants will carry out some pen-and-paper exercises to design ML applications.
Hands-on with ML
- From the pen-and-paper exercises in lesson 3, participants will utilise a visual programming environment to create an ML prototype via drag-and-drop interactions without code.
Social Implications
- Students will discuss possible social and ethical implications of AI, such as ethics in decision making, bias, and privacy.
Who Should Attend
- Senior managers, innovation officers, and executives looking to inject AI techniques within their organisation’s work processes
- Managers, executives and professionals in both ICT and non-ICT domains interested in getting an exposure to ML in broad strokes to stay up to date with today’s technology
