Course Description

In the last 2 years, do you in ads, product descriptions and vendor pitches see an increased usage of the word "Artificial Intelligence"? I did a quick Google search:

intelligence engine
uses AI technology to..
with AI technology
launches with AI technology
with AI solutions
AI-enabled

I've an honest question for you: Can you tell which one of those are legit references to real Artificial Intelligence technology and which ones are just marketing BS?
Here's a hint to the answer: A study from MMC Ventures just recently found, that 4 out of 10 startups don't use AI - although claiming so. How much higher might the number be in traditional' companies that could easily slap a hyped-up label on their product?
Are you able to put these pieces of information into perspective? There might be very valuable nuggets of information for you in those articles!

Introducing the Guide to AI - for busy professionals!

The course presents an overview to Artificial Intelligence - without relying on any prior computer science or tech knowledge.
You'll discover:

What is Artificial Intelligence - in simple words? How is it different from normal computer programs and apps?
Why can't a computer tell whether there is a bird on a picture?
What is hype, what is only marketing BS and what is the real potential of Artificial Intelligence?
What is the expected impact of AI on the economy in numbers? How much funding goes into AI? What other numbers are relevant and where can I find them?
What are algorithms and why are they important? And what do they have to do with cake? ?
How to assess whether something is an AI? Why is that important?
What research fields exist in Artificial Intelligence?
Where can I see real AI in my daily life?
And why you don't need to fear for a robot-apocalypse any time soon (Spoiler alert: they are having problems telling what's in front of them).

And all that

through (currently and steadily increasing) over 20 video lessons with quizzes and assignments for you to deepen your understanding of the material
without the need to learn computer programming
plus tons of additional articles and book recommendations
in a language everybody can understand - even if you don't have any computer science brackground
taught by a nice dude that does not talk down to you and thought for over 6 month on how to provide this whole thing in a language people without a technical background can understand (and who also has a Phd in Computer Science - and gave lessons for a living)
with new content added to the course on a frequently - yes: the course will receive more and more material and increase in price while it gets added (and you will therefore receive it for free by then!)

Important note and disclaimer: If you are looking for a course that teaches you how to code or how to use certain AI frameworks and technologies (Keras, Tensorflow, etc.) - THIS IS THE WRONG COURSE!
But if you want to take a fun and interesting look behind the curtain that some marketing people have drawn around these hyped up buzzwords: Get started!Who this course is for:

Business Professionals
Non-techie AI enthusiasts
Managers
NOT for coders

Time: 1.5h
