Course objectives
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of artificial intelligence and its applications through three main modules:
- Foundations of AI: Introduce AI concepts, differentiate between narrow and general AI, and explore AI's impact on industries. Learn to define AI, understand its technologies, and distinguish between predictions, pattern recognition, and process automation.
- Technical Skills and Applications: Cover data science essentials and AI model building, including data acquisition, cleaning, preprocessing, statistical analysis, and visualization. Master data manipulation, model training, and evaluation techniques.
- AI Ethics and Future Outlook: Address ethical issues in AI, review global AI governance frameworks, and explore trends like quantum AI and affective computing. Engage in role-playing exercises and discuss future AI advancements and societal implications.
Testimonials
I recently took the AI Prompt Engineering course at the Swiss Cyber Institute and found it useful. The mix of theory and practical exercises helped to learn and apply new skills. The program materials are clear, supportive, and are available during the course. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get better at working with AI.
Marcel Krättli
Insightful and informative. With the knowledge about artificial intelligence, I can now work better and understand the processes better so that I can write better prompts in the future.
Yvonne Eichenberger
If you’ve never had any touchpoints with AI, this course is for you. Even if you no longer consider yourself a beginner, you’ll appreciate the comprehensive outlook of the course. Our lecturers are a wealth of knowledge and will provide you with extensive insights and up-to-date information on what’s happening in this part of the digital universe.
