Artificial Intelligence Founda

Catalog description

This course covers basic reactive and limited memory forms of AI used in business and research environments. Students will discover various types of AI including machine learning (ML), deep learning, neural networks, natural language processing/generation, analytical AI, and generative AI. The course will also compare AI's non-deterministic characteristics (e.g., self-learning systems, agentic systems, etc.) to traditional rule-based and deterministic automation (e.g., classic computing, rules engines, robotics process automation, etc.). The course will also examine AI use cases in cybersecurity, law enforcement, automotive engineering, healthcare, banking, IT, and fields where AI delivers a competitive advantage. In each module, students will create a Python program that applies the concepts of the use cases examined throughout the course.
