ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

The concept of Artificial Intelligence is no longer considered as a fictional, futuristic idea. It has been given a very important role within the current society the past few decades, this refers to a variety of day-to-day tasks to even more technologically advanced tasks that require technical skills.  AI has slowly been integrated within almost every industry, such as the Financial one. Therefore, it is valuable for professionals of these industries to establish a proper understanding of AI as well as any concepts that surround it and the impact that such technology could have on one’s business or organisation. Artificial intelligence has been considered one of the most important emerging technologies today. During the past year it has opened up around 850,000 new jobs and it has been estimated that the AI market will be worth almost 50% more by next year compared to the current year.

This very informative course aims to offer knowledge to individuals from little to no background on the technology of artificial intelligence and it does not require any technical knowledge on the matter.  It also intends to provide its participants with a clear explanation on the fundamental knowledge of what the theoretical study of Artificial Intelligence consists of, and not introduce them to the technical elements of how to develop an AI system. This includes a non-complicated introduction to the different types of AI and different approaches taken by the developers to develop an AI. Some of the terms the attendees will be introduced to include ‘Machine Learning’, ‘Predictive Analytics’, ‘Deep Learning’ and ‘Natural Language Processing’ which will be explained with clarity. During the course some examples of AI systems and how they have been applied in different industries will be demonstrated, allowing participants to become more familiar with different AI systems. One of the sectors that will be discussed is the Financial Market and how it will further be developed with the use of AI. For instance, how the investing sector could benefit from the use of AI and how AI-based systems could help identify financial fraud actions.  By the end of this course individuals will have gained the confidence of understanding what the emerging technology of Artificial Intelligence is and will be able to identify such technology when needed.
