Continuing education

Professional training is at the heart of the national AI strategy, with the goal to educate AI talent at all levels. It is therefore necessary to propose new options and new formats for continuing education in connection with changes in usage but also through concrete experiments and articulated with actions aimed at certain categories of professionals. In this frame, SCAI supports multiple efforts in continuing education.

Reinforcement learning - Concepts & Practice

AlphaZero, which beats the best players in the world at Go, the OpenAI robot that manipulates a cube from all sides or solves the Rubik's cube, a group of agents that beats professional players at StartCraft or Dota2, an algorithm that reduces the cooling bill of Google's computer centres by 40%, all of which are high-profile successes of reinforcement learning that have made it a major component of artificial intelligence.

This training will give you the basics to understand reinforcement learning and will guide you towards the implementation of the most commonly used algorithms in the field.

Professional Training in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence - Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi

Launched in 2020 and based in Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, this high-level training in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, taught in English, offers a uniquely devised blend of lectures and practical classes, specifically tailored to the needs of the twenty-first century professional.

By acquiring honed competencies in the models and the tools of machine learning and big data, trainees are able to bring about critical innovation in technological, innovation-thirsty societies. Moreover, she/he will develop a mature understanding of the opportunities and challenges posed by a large-scale use of artificial intelligence devices (such as text mining, analysis of complex networks, image processing and online advertising etc.).

Period
The training consists of three 30-hour Teaching Modules, each spanning a full week. Modules are scheduled once a month for three consecutive months.

Short training on digital law and regulations

This training is designed for individuals without a legal background and provides you with the necessary tools to comprehend digital laws and regulations. It equips you with best practices for compliance and enables you to anticipate future developments in the field.

This course, taught by legal experts, is aimed at non-lawyers. The law and regulation of digital activities are undergoing major changes. Several major European texts have been adopted or are currently being negotiated. They cover the circulation of personal and industrial data, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. The aim of this training course is to present this evolving legal framework, learn about best practices for complying with it and anticipate future developments.

Short training - ChatGPT demystified

This course is aimed at non-specialists and will give you a better understanding of how ChatGPT works and its limitations.

Artificial intelligence techniques are evolving very rapidly and have a direct impact on our daily lives: search engines, recommendation systems, medical imaging and now ChatGPT. This course, taught by experts in artificial intelligence, is aimed at non-specialists. This course will give you a better understanding of how ChatGPT works and its limitations. We will decipher the underlying mechanics of artificial intelligence systems with regard to different applications (text or image generation, information retrieval, translation systems, conversational systems, etc.). Once the functional aspect has been explained, the challenge will be to take a step back from the uses of these algorithms, in particular ChatGPT, to understand the opportunities and risks associated with the introduction of these new technologies into society.
