AI Explorer: Virtual Learning Course with UCL
The AI Explorer course consists of interactive self-paced learning content and six 1-hour live virtual lectures with leading tutors from University College London to offer students the opportunity to take a deep dive into the topic of Artificial Intelligence.
The aim of the lectures will be to introduce the opportunities and challenges presented by AI. An understanding of programming, data science and machine learning would be beneficial, but not essential as this program could represent the start of a young person’s learning in this area. An appreciation of AI’s strengths and weaknesses will be developed through the sessions. This basic understanding not only will future proof their careers, but also opens the door to creating amazing start-ups.
Who is the course suitable for?
Obviously important for STEM students, but also for Arts & Humanities graduates seeking professional careers.
