Program Overview
As the world becomes increasingly more complicated, so does the need for innovative, automated ways of learning and problem solving. Companies will either embrace AI/ML today or get left behind tomorrow. Successful organizations rely on professionals who can build and manage complex systems to provide solutions and insights that take into account millions of data points, variations, anomalies, and potential outcomes to create strategic competitive advantage. This program introduces participants to the fundamentals of AI and machine consciousness, including automated approaches to problem-solving, natural language processing, perception, planning, learning, motion, manipulation, and social behavior. They learn logic, search, optimization, and probabilistic methods and tools for uncertain reasoning to increase agility, enhance efficiency, improve predictability, and personalize more rewarding and profitable customer experiences.

Student Profiles
Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications are a ubiquitous feature of daily life. AI is used in marketing to create targeted advertisements. It is the technology that makes deep-fake videos possible. It is even used in art and music. Machine learning (ML) is an important approach to AI technology. You may have heard the phrase neural network discussed at your place of work. Whether you work in healthcare, real estate investing, manufacturing, or any of numerous fields where automation is occurring, you could benefit from introductory knowledge of AI and ML. This course is designed to give you an engaging, hands-on introduction to important topics in AI and ML. Digital literacy and a basic knowledge of mathematics are helpful but not required. All that is required is a willingness to learn. This course does not have any pre-requisites. Class will meet once a week in the evening from 6pm until 9pm for ten weeks. Expect approximately one hour of study outside of class per week.
Program Schedule
Understand the benefits AI/ML can offer your business or organization. Distinguish between various deep learning approaches and methodologies and identify the appropriate type of artificial neural networks for a given problem or application. Provide invaluable access to data-driven decision making for more innovative, competitive solutions. Prepare to sit for the AI-100 professional designation exam and/or the MS AI-102 professional designation exam on your way to working as a Microsoft AI Engineer. This course runs one day a week for 10 weeks over Zoom, from 6-9pm.
Session 1 :: What is Artificial Intelligence?
In this session, you will be introduced to various appearances of artificial intelligence (AI), including mathematical theorem proving and game playing. We will discuss the inflexibility of machine behavior and contrast our observations with philosophical definitions of general (human, or biologic) intelligence. We will study popular theories of mind, and discuss whether machines can have feelings. We will conclude with a survey of how close modern technology is to passing the Turing Test.
Session 2 :: What is Machine Learning?
In this session, you will be introduced to the basic concepts of machine learning. You will explore the strengths and weaknesses of supervised and unsupervised machine learning. We will discuss the role that optimization plays in machine learning. We will discuss limitations of machine learning, including the so-called curse of dimensionality.
Session 3 :: Automated Problem Solving
The four color theorem states that no more than four colors are required to color the regions of any map so that no two adjacent regions have the same color. This was the first major mathematical theorem to be proven with extensive computer assistance. In this lesson we will discuss why this and other problems are hard, and study how automated processes can help to solve such hard problems.
Session 4 :: Optimization
The term satisficing is a portmanteau of “satisfy” and “suffice”. If you are hungry and you walk into a grocery store you will probably grab the first snack that suffices to satisfy your hunger. Would it be better to inspect every single item in the store before picking the optimal item? Here we talk about strengths and weakness of optimization. We cover the statistical principles of maximum likelihood and maximum entropy. We discuss why constrained, non-convex optimization problems are hard to solve. We study the role of optimization in curve fitting, and explore whether modern techniques for causal inference can produce smarter machines.
Session 5 :: Uncertainty
Recently, loophole-free Bell-inequality experiments have been conducted to demonstrate that Einstein was not correct when he famously claimed “God does not play dice.” In this lesson we will study whether or not there is inherent randomness in nature and measurement. We will cover the basic idea of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and experience uncertain physical measurement. Finally, we will discuss the advantages of adopting the language of probability theory and statistics when describing the world around us.
Session 6 :: Regression
In this session, you will study the details of how we fit mathematical functions to observed data. We will discuss regression analysis in high dimensions and also nonlinear models. We will discuss the distinction between deterministic chaos and random noise. We will briefly discuss time series models. Our goal is to understand the basic mathematics behind models that are linear in their parameters.
Session 7 :: The Feed-Forward Neural Network
A neural network generalizes regression in a direction of non-linearity inspired by the way biological brains work. In this introductory lesson we will study the most basic neural network, the feed-forward neural network.
Session 8 :: Clustering
K-means clustering is a technique for partitioning n objects into k clusters, optimally. Here we will study how it can be used for vector quantization, cluster analysis, and feature learning.
Session 9 :: Applications of Machine Learning
In this session, we will study some successful applications of machine learning technology, including game playing, handwriting recognition, fraud detection, language translation, fake videos, and musical composition. We will also study and debate the suitability of machine learning in the field of healthcare.
Session 10 :: Casual AI
This final session will survey some of the frontiers in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning. We will discuss problems that arise from attempts to create contextual AI. We will discuss how Turing-award winner Judea Pearl’s causal calculus attempts to expand machine learning beyond curve fitting. We will learn how to progress up the ladder of causality from thinking about mere associations, to thinking about interventions, and finally to thinking about counterfactuals. We will explore whether or not AI can likewise elevate their thinking processes.

Program Overview
One of the key drivers of customer loyalty is the trustworthiness of a company’s product or service. The greater the level of brand trust the greater the tendency of consumers to continue buying the same brand of goods over competing brands. Digital Marketing plans are certainly utilized to increase these levels of trust and loyalty. But Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Yelp reviews can be tainted by counterfeits, and social media likes can be bought and sold with the click of a mouse, and consumers know it! So how does a company create an authentic and persuasive message about its products and services? By leveraging something they already have - employees and customers! Brands who learn to tap into the evangelicals in their immediate fan base, see increased brand awareness, engagement, and conversion rates. Utilizing content created by loyal employees and the “Fan Boys/Fan Girls” of a product or service amplifies social proof and credibility. Bringing your brand’s promises into perspective by implementing advocacy programs as a marketing tool is a must in today’s brand-saturated world. Employee advocates are nearly three times more likely to tell others that they are proud to work for the company and almost twice as likely to understand the vision of the organization. Employees who intentionally advocate create additional, on-brand reach and awareness otherwise unavailable to the brand. In recent studies, 85% of consumers were found to find fan-created content more influential than brand photos and videos. In fact, these studies also show that consumers are “2 times more likely to share their own content on social media because they want a friend to know about a brand, while only 14% of brands indicated this being a key reason which they believed motivated such sharing.” Throughout this program, you will gain invaluable insights from leading research and best practices on how to implement employee and customer advocacy and influencer programs to leverage free and low-cost marketing strategies by turning your attention inward. Learn to tap into your current resources and gain trust and loyalty for your brand.
Learning Outcomes
In this program you will: ● Discover the power of user-generated content and storytelling ● Understand how social media algorithms favor authentic content ● Assess current brand vision awareness and its connection and availability to employees and customers ● Learn innovative methods to create employee and customer advocacy programs
Student Profiles
Everyone should be on board with the idea that they can participate in the employee advocacy program. All employees, from managers to administrative staff and those who work in the warehouse, should be trained on how to be an advocate for their company.
