Our Artificial Intelligence (AI) Foundation training course builds upon the basic knowledge of AI. You will be taken from a basic understanding of AI to the creation of your own AI product.
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Essentials training course leads onto our three-day Artificial Intelligence (AI) Foundation training course.
Our Artificial Intelligence (AI) Essentials training course will give you a basic understanding of the terminology and concepts used by those working in Artificial Intelligence programs and projects.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a methodology for using a non-human system to learn from experience and imitate human intelligent behaviour. The essentials certificate tests a candidate’s knowledge and understanding of the terminology and the general principles of AI.
Our Artificial Intelligence (AI) Essentials training course was developed and delivered by Dr Andrew Lowe - Andrew has 20 years plus of experience in academia and industry working with high-performance computing. He has worked with high-tech startups and large high-tech engineering organisations using some of the world’s most powerful computers. Andrew uses AI on a daily basis in the analysis of simulations (e.g. Weather, Extreme Environments, Engineering) he builds.
