NCDS: AI for Non-Coders
The National Consortium for Data Science (NCDS) is now offering Foundations of AI courses to help in its mission to connect diverse communities of data science experts to support a 21st century data-driven economy. Their focus is to help bridge the gap between data scientists in the public and private sectors by providing educational and upskilling opportunities.
The second course, AI for Non-Coders will be held on Thursday, September 26 at 1 PM ET
Ever say to yourself: what even is an LLM? How do I get from chatting with ChatGPT to talking about larger AI products? How do I answer these nonstop questions from colleagues, customers, leadership and more in this new landscape? Do you find yourself needing expertise on AI that, quite frankly, you didn’t sign up for? This course is designed to meet the needs of people who are not necessarily well-versed in math and science but who know that they need to know the basics about AI in this changing landscape. You’ll learn about what AI can accomplish, the intuitions behind how it works (no math or coding necessary!), and opportunities and risks. You’ll come away feeling confident that you know not only what an LLM actually is, but understand all the jargon people use to talk about it. Scholarships are available on a case-by-case basis.
