AI Essentials

Learn about the fundamentals of artificial intelligence (AI) and how you can apply it in your business. Get past the hype for a structured introduction to the subject of AI and related topics at the theoretical and practical levels.

Building on the historical development and current state of the technology, we will then present a number of application case studies and will discuss the benefits of AI in this context. We will examine practical examples to show what kinds of things AI can do well and not so well.

In this way the two-day course provides a systematic and interesting introduction to the subject and draws on practical experiences and evaluation of AI use cases and their prototyping and introduction in an industrial context.
