edX is offering a free online course on the theme of “DelftX: AI in Practice: Applying AI”.

This course is not about difficult algorithms and complex programming; it is a course for anyone interested in learning how to integrate AI into their own organization.

To understand how current Artificial Intelligence applications can be successfully integrated in organizations, we look at different examples. For instance, how ING uses reinforcement learning for personalized dialog management with its customers or how Radboud UMC uses diagnostic image analysis to discover early stages of infectious diseases.

As part of our two-course program ‘AI in Practice’, this course will guide you in the practical aspects of applying AI in your own organization. You will examine typical applications of AI in use already and learn from their experience. 

Course effort:

5 weeks, 3-5 hours per week.

Prerequisites: 

‘AI in Practice’ is for everyone, no complicated math or programming expertise is required.

• Describe the benefits and challenges of implementing AI in organizations, in terms of context, organizational background, problems, research approach and results.
