Course Description

The Applied AI course will give a firm grasp of AI, its applications, its challenges related to commercial, social, and regulatory aspects with real-world use cases. On completion of this course, students will be able to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge they have gained on previous modules to undertake several AI mini-projects. Each project will exercise AI application libraries (e.g., TensorFlow or Keras), and students will therefore understand how AI techniques e.g., classifier and neural network systems, reinforcement learning systems and simulation/evaluation systems, can be combined to create an end-to-end deployable AI solution. They will also be aware of the additional challenges an AI developer has to keep in mind, especially regarding the performance, decision accuracy, ethical, regulatory and social aspects.
