CONTENT SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
The course prepares participants to understand the key principles and trends in deep neural network artificial intelligence technology from an intuitive and approachable perspective. The course material will guide participants in practical ways to reason and interpret deep neural network AI performance and the challenges surrounding intellectual property, security and technological continuity. The course also provides insights that can assist participants to develop processes, infrastructure and best practices to support deep neural network technology development as well as to develop business models and strategies for deep neural network AI-enabled products.
This course addresses the critical need in Malaysian industries to develop a cohort of competent technical professionals for marketing and support roles as a competitive advantage to win-over new customers in the global market for AI-enabled products. Such customer-facing roles are critical for business success but the technical gaps in their training are often overlooked especially in high-technology areas like AI due to overemphasis on technical training for the product development/ R&D team. The goal is to develop customer-serving technical professionals that can converse intelligently about the features, performance and prospects of deep neural network AI and respond impressively to customer demands for technical clarification or requests for features.
