Business and artificial intelligence

Summary

Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables significant and rapid change in businesses in almost all sectors and industries. In particular, machine learning – the ability of computers to improve their performance without human instruction – is driving the development of new applications that can accelerate productivity and competitive advantage for companies.

From automating different aspects of business to predicting patterns in data, AI can perform tasks with far greater accuracy and speed than humans – changing not only what businesses and managers can do, but how they do it. Healthcare, financial, retail and travel organisations are delivering entirely new customer services thanks to chatbots, intelligent voice assistants and conversational AI. Meanwhile, a number of new machine learning applications are giving businesses access to deep analysis of key internal data (such as employee engagement, networks, and churn) to redesign the organization.

This course will give you a deep understanding of how AI is embedded in the business domain so you can discover what it can (and can’t) do for you and your organization. The course will equip you with practical frameworks and templates for working with data scientists and programmers, and show you how to commission analytics and analyse the results.

Key benefits

Artificial intelligence is taking over the world. The aim of this course is therefore to expand your knowledge of artificial intelligence to a higher level. The course covers everything from the basics of A&P to the intricacies of artificial intelligence in machine learning. What’s more, by completing this course you will open up further career opportunities within the IT industry.

We will strive to bridge the gap between business and technology. That’s why this course is designed for executives and business leaders across functions and industries who want to understand the possibilities of AI, and is also applicable to technical professionals such as CIOs, IT managers and business analysts who want to better understand how AI can be implemented in their organizations.

What you will learn in the course

Benefits of using artificial intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a key enabler of future competitiveness. Artificial intelligence is already changing the way companies create content for their online business. Many are talking about using them, but very few are using them. In this study, you will learn what advantages artificial intelligence (AI) can give you over your competitors and how and for what content you can use this technology in your online business.

Machine Learning

Strong learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. In the past decade, machine learning has given us self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, efficient web search, and a vastly improved understanding of the human genome. Machine learning is so widespread today that you probably use it every day without even knowing it. Many researchers also believe that it's the best way to make progress towards human-level artificial intelligence. In this course, you'll learn about the most effective machine learning techniques and get practice implementing and operationalizing them. More importantly, you'll not only learn the theoretical underpinnings of machine learning, but you'll also gain the practical know-how needed to apply these techniques quickly and efficiently to new problems.

Artificial intelligence in business

You will learn the basics of using big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning and the different areas in which they can be used to support business. You will explore the ethics and risks of AI, designing a governance framework for the fair use of AI, and managing people in the fair design of machine learning staff roles. You will also learn about effective marketing strategies using data analytics and how personalization can improve and extend the customer journey and lifecycle. Finally, you'll hear from leading industry experts who will provide insights on how AI and Big Data are revolutionizing the way we do business.

Marketing automation and artificial intelligence

How do you create the ideal marketing machine that can drive acquisition and customer satisfaction and loyalty? Performance marketing can enable your organization to make smart marketing decisions in an optimal way. Layering machine learning and artificial intelligence will further support this process and take your marketing strategy to the next level. Therefore, you will learn the key aspects of performance marketing that will enable you to plan effective performance marketing campaigns that will lead your organization to success. You will use your new skills to design a performance marketing strategy. You will analyze the customer journey and determine which parts of the marketing process can be built upon by integrating machine learning and artificial intelligence. In addition, you will look for ways to responsibly manage customer data and privacy to earn and maintain their trust in your organization.

Product Management and Artificial Intelligence

Organisations in all sectors are increasingly using artificial intelligence and machine learning to create innovative new products and systems. This requires professionals across multiple functions, not just strictly within data science and data engineering teams, to understand when and how AI can be used, speak the language of data and analytics, and be able to work in cross-functional teams on machine learning projects. We will therefore provide you with a basic understanding of how machine learning works and when and how it can be used to solve problems. You will develop skills in applying the data science process and industry best practices to lead machine learning projects, and develop competencies in designing human-centric AI products that ensure privacy and ethical standards.
