Course description and learning outcomes:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) doesn't exist without data.

In 2006, British mathematician Clive Humby said, "Data is the new oil." And data is the fuel that powers AI.

However, having data is not enough, you need good data. But how can you identify quality data in the AI world? This course provides the answer.

The first part of the course will help participants identify good data, spot potential biases, and interpret graphs and other visualizations from data.

The second part of the course will focus on the practical aspects of data for AI projects.

This section will help participants assess data requirements for AI projects, differentiate between various storage methods, and identify data sources.

Upon completion of the course, participants will grasp the single most important aspect of AI—data.

To help participants develop data skills for AI, they will be exposed to case studies and other projects that resemble data-related situations AI professionals face daily.

During these exercises, they will examine the different steps of the data lifecycle to help them assess data quality and the requirements for various AI projects.

The assignments will position the participant as the domain expert and client on an AI project and teach them how to work alongside a data scientist.

By the end of this course, the participants will be able to:

Explain the importance of "good" data in AI projects
Describe the different types of data used in AI projects
Identify the different techniques used to handle and store data in AI

Assess what is required to carry out an AI project
