Artificial Intelligence - Strategies and Tactics

An intimate “deep dive” masterclass into Artificial Intelligence taught by one of the world’s leading AI scientists and strategists, Hod Lipson. No prior technical experience needed.

Purpose

Artificial intelligence and robots are changing how our world works. All of us must rapidly adapt to survive, yet none of us have time to study dense technical manuals or do extensive coursework. The good news is that now there’s a mini-course that can help.

This focused half-day course offers a non-technical introductory “deep dive” into artificial intelligence.  The instructor, Prof. Hod Lipson, has taught thousands of business people from companies such as Deloitte, Google, Exxon, Baidu, Tencent, Citibank, Lloyds, Deutsche Telekom, YPO, and more.  Course participants will gain the knowledge, language and big-picture framework they need to understand how artificial intelligence is changing industry, and what their company could do to adapt.

Goals and Learning Objectives

• Conceptual mastery of the basics of how artificial intelligence works, what it can do, and what it cannot do. 
• Practical insight by studying selected real-life “best practices” of the different ways successful companies are using artificial intelligence to gain leverage in their industry. 
• No coding. No programming will be done, nor are coding skills required. This is a strategy-level course.

Curriculum

The class covers the following topics:

1. What is AI / How AI really works
2. Why now - The four drivers of AI
3. Big data and the API economy
4. The future of AI: The next 10 years

Who Should Attend:

No technical knowledge is required for this course.  This workshop is ideal for business people and executives who are interested in uncovering new opportunities for their companies.  This course is also ideal for people who are seeking to acquire a “big-picture” view of artificial intelligence so they can be better managers.

Course Format

​This course is a blend of lively lectures, intensive Q&A and brief exercises.  Hod personally guides students through a series of targeted activities to help them apply the abstract concepts that were introduced in the lecture.  Throughout the course, Hod explains new technical concepts in everyday non-technical language and provides plenty of real-world examples of how leading companies are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence.

Coffee/refreshments will be provided.
