Effective immediately in response to COVID-19, all Technology Training classes will be delivered online until further notice.
In advance of each session, Tech Training will provide you with a Zoom link to your class, along with any required class materials.
This class will provide an overview of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence while exploring the advantages and capabilities of incorporating these technologies within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) cloud computing services suite.
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a suite of cloud computing services offered by Google. This class will focus on using GCP to do Machine Learning and AI by providing an overview of these technologies. It will also cover the advantages of using a cloud service to perform ML and AI capabilities and allow learners to practice applying their new skillset with three Milestone projects.
