Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a machine to display human-like capabilities such as reasoning, learning, planning and creativity. AI is one of the fastest-growing fields in the Computer Science industry. AI is seen as central to the digital transformation of society and it has become an EU priority. This course provides an essential introduction to the key topics underpinning AI, including its theoretical foundations, basic architecture, modern applications, and technical implications. The course aims at introducing the concept of artificial intelligence and its different paradigms, as well as at providing a good understanding of the real-world potential and limitations of AI. Trainees will be introduced to the core concepts of programming and the practical skills involved in producing AI-based programs to solve real-world problems, and will also explore how AI is already being used, in different domains such as in business, healthcare and finance.
