Course Objectives
Most people view AI as complex and inaccessible. To many people, AI is the domain of only very bright people with well-developed maths and computer science skills. To many, AI is becoming the new 'Latin'.
Figure 7. To many, the complexity of AI represents a significant barrier to understanding
Our goal here is to break down this barrier, deconstruct the complexities behind AI, make it accessible, and enable leaders to govern AI – regardless of their background.
To take advantage of AI, leaders need to understand how to frame AI within their organisation and guide its implementation and use.
This course will provide guidance for how to develop AI capacity across an organisation. It will explain the capabilities of AI, with examples of how it’s being used by forward thinking organisations. It will explore what leaders need to do to start their AI journey and how they can get the most out of this disruptive technology.
A key part of the course is learning from leading organisations, and analysis of Google, Facebook, Amazon, Uber and Fidelity, amongst other organisations, will help you frame and scope AI.
The course funnels thinking towards creating a practical, usable AI plan that leaders can use immediately.
