AI & IOT: New Disruptive Skills for Young Leaders

This programme introduces participants to the latest technologies in Internet-of-Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). At the completion of the course, students will have the knowledge on the fundamentals of AI and IoT systems, and the relationship between them. They will also acquire skills and handson experience in applying AI and ML on real-world data using IoT systems as an example application. In this age of ubiquitous data, how do we make sense of all this readily accessible but often overwhelming quantitative information that we encounter every day? To systematically extract insights from data? To “reason” with data? We can think of quantitative reasoning as applying a certain set of logic that allows us to work with data. The insights developed through such an application can help us to answer questions that we are invested in, to support or invalidate preconceived hypotheses, and provide evidence to advance our arguments. Through this journey of reasoning quantitatively, we will illuminate how we can both be critical consumers, as well as actively engage with, this precious resource that is data.
