The BCS Foundation Award - Knowledge Based Systems is designed for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of the principles of Knowledge-Based Systems and how they can be used to complement other AI technologies such as Machine Learning.
Knowledge-Based Systems are designed to capture human expertise in order to enable AI applications to make intelligent decisions.
Through completion of this award candidates will have the ability to recognise Knowledge-Based Systems, gain an understanding of how they work, and consider how they can add value to an organisation. This award will also enable candidates to understand the concept of Uncertainty and Fuzzy Logic, and how Knowledge-Based Systems can be used to help organisations to make decisions and act where there is higher level of uncertainty.
