Core focus: Build a foundation in AI concepts, tools and applications through discussion, case studies and hands-on learning.
Who it is for: Professionals interested in using AI in their work, as well as anyone who wants to understand its practical uses and effects on society.
What you will explore: Machine learning, natural language processing, generative AI, applications across industries and responsible use. Participants bring these topics together in a final capstone project focused on a real-world problem or use case.
By the end of the course, participants should be able to:
Explore AI concepts, history, and applications, including opportunities and risks in daily life and work.
Learn how data is used to train AI systems and explore supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning.
Examine how AI processes language, compare generated outputs and practise writing more effective prompts.
Consider applications in fields such as finance, healthcare, education and customer service, with attention to their relevance in the Cayman Islands.
Use case studies to discuss bias, fairness, accountability, transparency, and the effects of AI on people and organisations.
Consider emerging developments in AI and present a group project that brings together the concepts and tools covered in the course.
