The APMG Foundation Certificate in Artificial Intelligence
Course Outline
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a methodology for using a non-human system to learn from experience and imitate human intelligent behavior. The APMG Foundation Certificate in Artificial Intelligence tests a candidate’s knowledge and understanding of AI terminology and general principles.
This syllabus covers the potential benefits and challenges of Ethical and Sustainable Robust Artificial Intelligence; the basic process of Machine Learning (ML) – Building a Machine Learning Toolkit; the challenges and risks associated with an AI project; and the future of AI and Humans in work.
