If so, this course is for you. Become an AI guru – by understanding what makes AI tick. The weird thing is that many AI teams are great with math and software but have less experience with the context. You can become the “smartest person in the room” by bringing key insights to your team.

This course shares the origin story of AI, 4 aspects that make AI awesome, 4 that are hazardous and then empower you with critical and even technical questions to ask of your team.

Overall I really enjoyed the point of this course emphasizing the need on data management first!!! Being in internal audit, I have seen time and time again where people try to jump ahead and the results just don't work. I also really appreciated the points made about people approaching the problem from two different ends. These two points are good to reiterate over and over again. Also, the team presentation nature of this kept me more engaged versus just hearing one speaker.

Great introduction to the principles and processes involved in AI-related business project management. Provides senior leaders and board members with a solid overview of what questions to ask cross-silo managers and project leads, ensuring that everyone understands the 'why' and then the 'how'.

Informative overview of AI and clarification of differences in AI, machine learning, and deep learning. Confirmation of the need for human judgement to be included in the evaluation of the validity of AI results.

While the instructors were knowledgeable, I felt the course was not well structured. It seemed to jump around without a purposeful sequence.

I really enjoyed learning about AI. It's an interesting and changing topic so it's cool to stay on top of it.

Maybe one case study of AI failure and one for AI success would be better to explain these practices.
