Online
learning platform Coursera is set to introduce an ‘AI for everyone’
course for non-technical business leaders to navigate the rise of
artificial intelligence (AI), as Economic Times reports.
The course will be taught by Andrew Ng, one of the foremost
researchers in AI, who previously led the deep learning research teams
at Google and Baidu.
Most
aspiring CEOs are faced with questions on how to structure their AI
teams, how to decide on what AI projects to work on, what not to work on
and how to align their company's strategy with AI of the future. This
course is for those non-technical business leaders in all roles to
understand AI opportunities,” said Andrew Ng, Co-founder of Coursera.
The
course will go live by January 2019 and is likely to be a three-week
course with learners spending 2-3 hours a week. Ng said that the rise of
the internet gave rise to new job roles, which is going to be the case
with the future of AI as well...
The
'AI for everyone' course is produced by Deeplearning.ai, a team of five
with Ng at the helm working towards making AI educational material
accessible to starters.
Coursera has 36 million registered learners globally, with over 1400
enterprise partnerships and 2700 active courses on its platform. India
is the second largest market for Coursera in terms of individual
learners and enterprises.
The
top five courses in India are machine learning by Stanford University,
programming for everybody (getting started with Python) by University of
Michigan, neural networks and deep learning by deeplearning.ai,
algorithms, part I by Princeton University, and learning how to learn by
University of California.
