Creative Applications for Artificial Intelligence

New session times will be displayed below upon confirmation.

Most Technology Training classes will be delivered online until further notice.

Before each session, Tech Training will provide a Zoom link for live online classes, along with any required class materials.



This session will provide a non-intimidating introduction to Artificial Intelligence. We’ll discuss the differences between AI and Machine Learning, and we’ll delve into the technology behind AI, including neural networks and Deep Learning.
 

The lecture will discuss how machines learn and why data is so important. We'll talk about building AI projects and walk through a brief demonstration. We’ll also look at some of the amazing things that AI can do, and we’ll discuss how to spot opportunities for AI in your organization.
