Course Overview

Artificial Intelligence is one of the fastest-growing areas in the industry. Businesses are rushing to leverage AI to do things differently, faster, and more efficiently. We are seeing a rise in the use of autonomous vehicles. We are able to build houses in a week instead of a year. If you are an ITE graduate who is seeking to upgrade and upskill, this AI course is for you. You will learn to develop chatbots, leverage on natural language processing technologies, undertake object recognition and use machine learning and deep learning algorithms to create solutions.
