October 8 & 10 | 1:00 - 3:00 PM ET
CPE Field of Study: Finance (FIN)
*This session is presented over two days, October 8 & 10. You must attend both days of this course to receive credit.
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the significance of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Generative AI (GenAI) in reshaping both business and society is undeniable. However, the complexity of these technologies often appears intimidating, raising questions about the necessity of coding knowledge and proficiency in mathematics, statistics, or data science. The answer is a resounding no.
Introducing our dynamic, no-code AI course, designed for finance professionals who aspire to harness the capabilities of AI and ML in their business endeavors without delving into the intricacies of coding. This course emphasizes practical application over theoretical knowledge, making it ideal for those interested in analytics and logical reasoning to enhance their insights and process efficiency. Our approach simplifies learning by eliminating technical obstacles and focusing on business impact: formulating pertinent queries, managing data quality, evaluating algorithms, interpreting results, addressing biases, and demonstrating leadership.
Participants will engage with real-world case studies, such as predicting healthcare expenditures and detecting insurance fraud, to understand how AI, ML, and GenAI can be leveraged in various business contexts. By the end of the course, participants will confidently apply GenAI and AI solutions responsibly and inclusively, ensuring beneficial implementations for all. Join us to explore the exciting world of AI, ML, and GenAI, where technical proficiency is not a barrier to innovation and impact.
