The Top Non-Business School AI Classes For Executives

We’re not talking MIT or the London Business School, but these training classes can help executives understand AI management.

Last week, AI Finance Today offered a list of great AI skills classes from credentialed business schools.

Let’s start this week with a menu of AI training classes not from the MITs of the world but from technology companies and industry organizations that strive to give executives high-level AI management courses without paying business school prices.

Course: Coursera AI for Everyone
Cost: Up to $79 per month.
Timeframe: Six hours.


Summary: “AI is not only for engineers,” Coursera notes in explaining the course. “If you want your organization to become better at using AI, this is the course to tell everyone, especially your non-technical colleagues, to take.”

In the course, executives will learn the following AI tenets:

– The meaning behind common AI terminology, including neural networks, machine learning, deep learning, and data science.
– What AI realistically can–and cannot–do
– How to spot opportunities to apply AI to problems in your own organization
– What it feels like to build machine learning and data science projects
– How to work with an AI team and build an AI strategy in your company
– How to navigate ethical and societal discussions surrounding AI. Though this course is largely non-technical, engineers can also take it to learn the business aspects of AI.
