In less than a century, artificial intelligence (AI) has already undergone three waves of transformative development. Today it gives humanity the most powerful tools for analyzing complex data, not only to find meaning but to learn without human intervention. Survey AI’s history and explore ways that it can shed light on unstructured data.
Understand how some artificial intelligence systems can understand human language, identify visual images, and even create original art and how they do it.
Do this by exploring the theory of natural language and vision processing, and how these technologies drive real-world mechanisms such as chatbots and photo analysis.
Understand how machines can learn and make amazing, evidence-based predictions. Explore the logic behind computers’ ability to learn, then investigate new ways that AI systems inspired by neurons in the human brain can solve difficult problems.
Hands-on, simulated, practice creating an AI machine learning model in a series of simulations, using IBM Watson Studio.
Understand the problems that arise when AI systems misinterpret data or propose solutions that reflect human prejudice.
Learn about the five pillars of AI ethics: fairness, robustness, explainability, transparency, and privacy. Through real-world examples learn about AI ethics, how they are implemented, and why AI ethics are so important in building trustworthy AI systems.
In considering a career in artificial intelligence. Explore how the AI job market’s rapid growth and understand the skills needed for success in this exciting field. Hear how real professionals got their start, and find resources and learning opportunities to help these professionals.
