AI in Practice
Delft University of Technology via edX Professional Certificate
Overview
Learn how to integrate AI into your organization. Start by recognizing AI’s multiple benefits and implications and end by making a plan for its application.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is like electricity must have been 140 years ago. We may not yet be able to properly imagine how it will affect our lives, but organizations need to start thinking about how AI can be applied to and improve everyday practice.
We can’t just leave this to the coding elite, either. Anyone who is involved in business processes and innovation will benefit from knowledge of the introduction and application of AI in practical situations.
The AI in Practice program is therefore not about difficult algorithms and complex programming. Rather, it is for anyone, regardless of their professional background or job role, who is interested in learning how to develop a plan for the application of AI in their organization. This applies to managers who want to know what AI can do for their companies to data analysts and consultants who want to understand how AI can be applied in their business processes.
AI innovative solutions, such as the use of machine learning, deep learning, computational argumentation, diagnostic image analysis, reinforcement learning, natural language processing, robotics and data analytics, can help companies solve specific problems, drive efficiency and improve performance and decision-making.
The program provides a wide range of cases and examples of current artificial intelligence applications in various organizations. It outlines the state of the art in current AI research, and provides practical tools for integrating AI into your own organization.
The program consists of two courses: ‘Preparing for AI’ and ‘Applying AI’. The first course focuses on how to prepare for the integration of AI in your organization by understanding what it can achieve and recognizing any potential implications and raising compliance and ethical considerations. The second course focuses on practical aspects of AI and how to write a plan for applying AI in your own organization in a step-by-step manner.
Both courses present ideas and case studies for actual situations based on the latest AI research conducted in the Research Labs of the Innovation Center for Artificial Intelligence (ICAI) in the Netherlands where government, industry and universities collaborate. Case studies presented include contributions from top Dutch universities, public institutions and AI experts from companies such as ING, Ahold Delhaize, Elsevier, KPN and Thirona.

View detailsThis 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.
AI innovative solutions, such as the use of machine learning, deep learning, computational argumentation, diagnostic image analysis, reinforcement learning, natural language processing, robotics and data analytics, can help organizations solve specific problems, drive efficiency and improve performance and decision-making.
After having learned what AI can do for your organization, this second part of our two-course program ‘AI in Practice’, 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. These include challenges of implementation, lifecycle aspects, as well as the maintenance and management of AI applications.
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. The course presents a variety of case studies from actual situations in public organizations and private enterprises in the healthcare, financial, retail and telecommunications sectors. These include Radboud UMC, the Municipality of Amsterdam, ING, Ahold Delhaize and KPN.
‘AI in Practice – Applying AI’ gives you the ammunition to understand the practical aspects required for the implementation of a variety of AI applications in your organization.
This course has been developed by Delft University of Technology and the Innovation Center for Artificial Intelligence Academy (ICAI). ICAI is a national initiative involving industry, universities and government in the area of AI research and applications.
