In our age of information and insights, the success of a business relies on how well we utilize the data in creating algorithms and making predictions. As organizations realize this, no-code approaches to implementing emerging technologies are becoming popular and essential to know. A no-code approach to data science and AI can be a game-changer. MIT Professional Education offers the No Code AI and Machine Learning: Building Data Science Solutions Program to utilize the full power of AI and build intelligent solutions from data without having to write a single line of code.

COURSE OVERVIEW

In this 12-week program, you will learn to use AI and Machine Learning to make data-driven business decisions by understanding the theory and practical applications of supervised and unsupervised learning, neural networks, recommendation engines, computer vision, etc. Leverage the power of AI and data science without writing a single line of code.

Upon successfully completing the program, you will receive a certificate of completion from MIT Professional Education.

MIT Professional Education is collaborating with online education provider Great Learning to offer No Code AI and Machine Learning: Building Data Science Solutions. This program leverages MIT's leadership in innovation, science, engineering, and technical disciplines developed over years of research, teaching, and practice. Great Learning collaborates with institutions to manage enrollments (including all payment services and invoicing), technology, and participant support.
