Artificial Intelligence Course

The Artificial Intelligence Course integrated into the Samsung Innovation Campus and taught at NOVA FCT is a 16-week program focused on building fundamental AI skills. Here, you will learn Artificial Intelligence and Modeling based on a solid foundation of Mathematics, including probability, statistics, and linear algebra. The course will help you experience Machine Learning tools and solve real-world problems through various practical exercises. You will gain an understanding and hands-on experience in the design, implementation, and communication of the results of an AI project.

Who should participate in this program?

Anyone interested in pursuing a career in AI. Participants should have prior experience with Python programming language and a basic understanding of statistics.
