IBM Applied AI Professional Certificate (Coursera)

This Professional Certificate program in Artificial Intelligence has been created by IBM, the global leader in Tech and one of the pioneers in AI innovation. It is aimed for those who want to learn the skills to work as AI developers. It imparts firm understanding of AI, its applications and use cases. It introduces learners to the concepts and tools like machine learning, data science, natural language processing, image classification, image processing, IBM Watson AI services, OpenCV, and APIs. Students also learn to get started with using pre-built AI smarts without having to create AI models and backends from scratch.

This is a beginner level AI Certification comprising of 6 courses and can be taken by learners with both technical and non-technical backgrounds. The first three courses of the program also constitute the complete AI Foundations For Everyone Specialization. These courses do not require any programming knowledge and have no prerequisites. They are:

1. Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) – This is a very popular course and a part of multiple specializations. It introduces the basics of AI and how AI can be used in various industries. It can be taken by everyone whether developers, managers, executives or students.
2. Getting Started with AI using IBM Watson – This course introduces learners to various IBM Watson services and APIs and what they can be used for.
3. Building AI Powered Chatbots Without Programming – This course teaches how to plan, implement, test, and deploy AI powered chatbots on a website.
4. Python for Data Science and AI – This course covers Python fundamentals, including data structures and data analysis, with complete hands-on exercises.
5. Building AI Applications with Watson APIs – In this course, learners utilize multiple Watson AI services and APIs together to build smart and interactive applications.
6. Introduction to Computer Vision with Watson and OpenCV – In this course, learners understand Computer vision and its applications, also build and train custom image classifiers using Watson, Python and OpenCV.

The curriculum of this program is very extensive and includes number of hands-on learning projects, including building your own AI chatbot; building, training and testing custom image classifiers; creating a computer vision web application and deploying it to the Cloud.
