Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI for short) is the buzzword on everyone’s lips these days, but it still holds a number of secrets. What can artificial intelligence do in comparison to natural intelligence? Can computers think at all? What is AI and what’s not AI? What can AI be used for? Is it already suitable for day-to-day use in business, or is it still a technology of the future? As engineers, we seek to answer these questions in an understandable manner and without mystifying the subject — and as a result, this overview course covers the most important areas, methods and applications of AI. Regardless of whether or not a generally accepted definition of intelligence exists, at this point AI methods are already achieving astonishing results in specialist fields which go beyond human capabilities.

Goal

You’ll learn the methodological fundamentals of AI and its most important areas of application. You’ll gain secure knowledge which will allow you to evaluate the state of the art in this field of computer science and to critically assess future developments. You’ll be able to assess whether it’ll be worthwhile for you to use AI in your business and for relevant tasks.
