Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a methodology for using a nonhuman system to learn from experience and imitate human intelligent behavior.
This training covers the potential benefits and challenges of ethical and sustainable robust Artificial Intelligence (AI); the basic process of Machine Learning (ML) – Building a Machine Learning (ML) Toolkit; the challenges and risks associated with an AI project, and the future of AI and Humans in work.

This course prepares for the EXIN BCS Artificial Intelligence Foundation certification

The EXIN BCS Artificial Intelligence Foundation certification is focused on
individuals with an interest in (or need to implement) AI in an organization— especially those working in areas such as science, engineering, knowledge engineering, finance, education or IT services

The EXIN BCS Artificial Intelligence Foundation certification tests a candidate’s knowledge and understanding of the terminology and general principles of AI. This Foundation certificate includes and expands on the knowledge taught in the EXIN BCS Essentials Certificate in Artificial Intelligence.

In this course, students will learn to:
• Describe how artificial intelligence (AI) is part of ‘Universal Design’ and ‘The Fourth Industrial Revolution’
• Demonstrate understanding of the artificial intelligence (AI) intelligent agent description
• Explain the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI)
• Describe how we learn from data— functionality, software and hardware
• Demonstrate an understanding that artificial intelligence (AI) (in particular, machine learning—ML) will drive humans and machines to work together
• Describe a ‘learning from experience’ Agile approach to projects
