Artificial Intelligence for Business Leaders
Executives are asked to approve artificial intelligence investments without a technical background. This course gives decision makers enough working understanding to tell a genuine opportunity from a costly distraction, and to ask suppliers the right questions.
Deploying and Operating Machine Learning Models
A model that works in a notebook is not yet a working system. This course covers what it takes to run a model in production: packaging, serving, monitoring for drift and retraining without breaking what depends on it.
Generative AI Tools in the Workplace
Generative tools are already in use across most organisations, often without guidance. This practical course shows staff how to use them well for real work tasks, and where the accuracy and confidentiality traps lie.
