Introduction to AI for Business

Peter Maynard, Director Program Management at Microsoft, explores what AI really is, why and how it will transform every business in every industry. Peter also uncovers how Microsoft technology is at the forefront of this transformation and show some scenarios, both present and future with respect to how this is helping business embrace digital transformation.

The purpose of the course is to highlight how underlying Digital Transformation in a number of enterprises is simply an algorithm. This algorithm will determine the success of how that company will leverage its data in the future and if it will ultimately survive. Moving on from that as background, there will be then explored the types of steps that a company can take to win in the algorithm wars and things that they should be conscious of. In the course, there will be presented a range of examples of companies that are winning in Digital Transformation through AI.
