The demand for AI and machine learning (ML) expertise is growing across all industries\, and it’s through the marriage of domain expertise with technical ML skills that companies can gain competitive advantages. \nOur eight-week online course combines synchronous (collaborative) and asynchronous (independent) lectures\, readings and discussions\, as well as practical assignments and a final capstone project. In the final project\, you will work in a group to complete a Machine Learning Project Charter for a specific ML project\, and pitch your project to a panel of ML and business experts. \nYou’ll graduate from the course with the: \n\nSkills to draft AI adoption strategy for your organization\nAbility to identify ML projects\, assemble teams\, and execute related business tactics\nConfidence to manage and interact with technical teams\n\nWhat is the goal of this course?\nThe purpose of this course is to develop your knowledge and skills to define and manage a machine learning project that supports your organization’s business priorities. This isn’t a technical course\, but we will get into enough technical details to empower you to have informed discussions with technical teams about the data needed for ML projects\, appropriate approaches to the problem\, and the evaluation of the results. You’ll also have an appreciation of the business\, social and ethical impacts of ML and how they apply to your organization and project. \nLearning Objectives\n\nUnderstand the considerations required for selecting an appropriate machine learning project in the context of the organization’s capabilities and objectives\nImplement some organizational processes to apply ethical thinking to machine learning projects\nIntelligently discuss data issues with data professionals\nUnderstand and discuss the uses\, strengths and limitations of the three types of machine learning\nEffectively apply the ML Project Charter to think through and pitch an ML project\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe look forward to having you join us in January!\n\n\nAre you curious if AI Strategy Management is the right fit for you?
