Artificial intelligence (AI) is forging ahead solving complex real-world problems; everything from self-driving cars, to facial recognition, to missile guidance, to tumour detection. This program covers the foundational requirements and applications needed for careers associated with AI and offers a broad introduction to the subject, including its history.

As you progress through the program, you will be introduced to the many technologies used within AI systems. You will be introduced to Python; a very popular AI programming language. You will explore the basics of relational databases and algorithms. And you will become familiar with the concepts and tools used for data visualization. You will also develop skills in Jupyter Notebook, Python, MongoDB, SQL, NoSQL, and creating data, which will prepare you for tackling the hands-on labs provided in the program.

Once you have learnt how to run your first Python program, you will then implement data structures, conditions, branching, looping, searching, and sorting in Python. You will discover how to set up a MongoDB cluster and work with relational databases. And you will work with various Python libraries, including pandas and NumPy, to visualize data in the form of charts and graphs.

For individuals keen to take their first step in the amazing world of AI, this Artificial Intelligence Program is an ideal place to start.

Artificial Intelligence Foundations Program comprises five purposely designed courses that take you on a carefully defined learning journey.

It is a self-paced program, which means it is not run to a fixed schedule with regard to completing modules or submitting assignments. To give you an idea of how long the course takes to complete, it is anticipated that if you work 4 hours per week, you will complete the program in 10 weeks. However, as long as the program is completed by the end of your enrollment, you can work at your own pace. And you will be encouraged to stay connected with your learning community and mentors through the course discussion space.

The materials for modules are accessible from the start of the program and will remain available for the duration of your enrollment. include videos, hands-on labs, exercises, and knowledge checks.

Enrollment in the program includes all five courses. You cannot enroll for the courses separately.

As part of our mentoring service you will have access to valuable guidance and support throughout the program. We provide a dedicated discussion space where you can ask questions, chat with your peers, and resolve issues. Depending on the payment plan you have chosen, you may also have access to live classes and webinars, which are an excellent opportunity to discuss problems with your mentor and ask questions. Mentoring services may vary package wise.

    FAQs

    Yes. Artificial Intelligence Foundations is 100% online. You will not be required to attend any classes in person. With this in mind, therefore, please note you will need appropriate access to the internet and the required technology to be able to use the program materials. The materials are in the form of articles, videos, and knowledge checks.

    This means you can access this program wherever you live in the world. And the great news is that you wont be learning alone. You will be encouraged to connect with other learners and the program mentors through the program discussion space.

    This program has been specifically designed for learners who have never worked in the field of artificial intelligence before; you do not need to have background experience at all. It therefore offers an excellent introduction to the subject. However, you will need basic math and statistical knowledge, some basic computers skills, and also some basic Python programming experience before you start the program. This will help you greatly as you progress.

    Artificial Intelligence Foundations has been designed to run as self-paced program. This means you have complete flexibility on the order of the modules you work on. However, the program has been designed to introduce topics in a way that is of most use to the learner, because skills and concepts that are required in a later module in the program are introduced early on. Thus, the order of the modules that you will see set out in your dashboard is the order that we recommend you follow.

    We would say yes. Python is a very useful language if you want to pursue a career in both AI and data science. This is because it is easy to learn and easy to use. Plus, many of the data analysis and visualization tasks required for data science are conducted using coding in Python. You will find, therefore, that many employers will advertise roles requiring coding skills in Python. So, if youre near the start of your programming journey, then Python is a great language to learn.

    The great news is that one of the courses in this program introduces this language well - AI Programming Fundamentals: Python. By the end of this part of the program, you will have learnt the basics of this critical language in AI and will be able to apply what you have learned using Jupyter Notebook.

    In the Artificial Intelligence Foundations program, you'll learn essential tools like the Python programming language and its key libraries, such as NumPy and Pandas. You'll also use Jupyter Notebook for coding and SQL for database querying. Excel will be covered for basic data organization and analysis. These tools will equip you with a solid foundation for AI and data science projects.

    The Artificial Intelligence Foundations course will significantly enhance your career by equipping you with foundational AI skills that are highly sought-after in various industries. You'll gain practical knowledge of key tools and technologies such as Python, machine learning libraries, and data manipulation tools. This will make you proficient in handling real-world AI and data science projects. This expertise can open up opportunities for roles in AI development, data analysis, and machine learning engineering.

    Artificial intelligence is a science and technology based on multiple disciplines. People who work in the field would consider computer science, linguistics, biology, mathematics, psychology, and engineering to be listed as the foundations of AI. However, data is also important to mention as one of the foundations of AI since all the practical and effective applications begin with data.
