Capstone Project: Your Strategic AI Plan
- Malini G., Technical Architect
"I felt it was a very practical course that covered many topics I have considered and some I hadn't thought of. The AI we have implemented was developed through one of our partners, so I hadn't ever considered what would go into developing an ethical AI platform before. After taking this course, I'm the most well-versed employee outside of IT in AI!"
- Jeff A., Vice President of Operations
"My favorite part was the ideation project, where you used Bard or ChatGPT to ideate and come up with an original work. While all aspects of the course were effective, this is the one that got me the most excited about how it will be incorporated into my daily workstream. I definitely plan on sharing what I learned with the rest of my team and encourage them to also take the course so our group can innovate together most effectively."
