Understanding AI Data

Course

Description

The results AI produces are only as good as the data behind it. Yet many professionals working with AI don’t fully understand how data determines outcomes. Our Understanding AI Data course shows you how data powers machine learning and generative AI, and why quality data is vital to successful AI projects. You’ll explore every stage of the AI data lifecycle and learn how to spot risks like bias and data drift so you can evaluate data-related challenges and get more out of the AI systems you use.

For the best learning experience, take AI Foundations (CEAI 1001) and Responsible AI (CEAI 1002) before this course.
