Artificial Intelligence Subject regulations
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the combination of data, algorithms and computing power that can perform tasks that would require intelligence if they were done by a human. It is impacting our lives, businesses and environment. As a subject AI will give students advanced skills and techniques to address the problems at hand.
Other qualifications
Prescriptions for:
-
GradCert(AI) and GradDip(AI) A Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma are available to graduates who have not included Artificial Intelligence at an advanced level in their first degree.
