Course Overview
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Practitioner (UCI 3073) track prepares students for careers in AI through the learning of AI concepts, machine and deep learning, AI ethics, ML algorithms, and natural language processing (NLP). Explore use cases and applications of AI and demonstrate AI in action with practical labs. Upon successful completion of all course modules, quizzes, and the final exam, students will earn the Artificial Practitioner certification. Along the way, you'll deep dive into ways that AI makes predictions, understands language and images, and learns using circuits inspired by the human brain. After a hands-on simulation in which you build and test a machine learning model, you'll finish with tips on how to find your own career in artificial intelligence. Explore essential algorithms, such as linear regression and clustering algorithms; fundamental concepts, techniques, and applications of machine learning; and data preprocessing. You will engage with scenario-based activities and tool-based simulations to apply your learning to real-world scenarios.
