What you’ll learn
Between the 4th and 12th of July, you’ll first be learning the basics of Artificial Intelligence through lectures and hands-on exercises from professors and PhD’s. You will learn here what the difference is between AI, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL).
After that, you’ll get an insight into how it’s used in practice through company visits in among others UZ Leuven (Gasthuisberg) and Belfius.
Last but not least, we’ll be giving you both technical, economical and ethical perspectives on this disruptive technology, with guest lectures from Dataroots, McKinsey, Siemens and others!

The exam consists of some basic theory questions, followed by a project. Afterwards you get a certificate that you achieved the AI skills. ?
