“The UAE government is keen on enabling youth, enhancing their abilities, and building their capabilities on par with the nation’s ambitious strategy for Artificial Intelligence; the government’s sole drive is for Ai to hold a greater role in the UAE and for youth to carry their dreams into reality across the world of disruption. The course launching in partnership with Samsung, one of the world’s leading technology companies, will equip youth with sound AI knowledge enabling them to become leaders in their fields. Further, the importance of leading the change and supporting international companies to benefit a growing pool of young professionals nationwide.”
Mr. Doohee Lee, President of Samsung Gulf Electronics, said that, “Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the modern world and making people’s lives better. Before we see AI developments on a large scale, we should focus on empowering youth with tools and capabilities that may prove invaluable as they prepare to pursue the career paths of their choice.”
Through the course’s specialized curriculum, participants will learn about the tools and applications that feature prominently in AI and machine learning-related workplaces.
As per the statement, “Following an introduction to AI and machine learning, successful applicants will benefit from interactions with an expert instructor, as well as live online sessions, to develop a clear understanding of technical processes.”
The course will be delivered through a blended learning, self-paced format, with participants given exercises for each module and access to content presentations and pre-recorded videos covering statistics, algorithms, and programming.
By the end of the course, students will be able to understand the statistical and mathematical foundation of machine learning, comprehend the utility of Python and the libraries used for machine learning algorithms, the application of these algorithms to real data sets, and learn to build projects while following the data science lifecycle.
“In order to achieve a certificate of completion, participants will also be expected to attend the course and complete the tasks and quizzes required to demonstrate their progress,” as per the statement.
