Objectives

  • Understand how machine learning systems actually work conceptually without needing math or coding knowledge
  • Develop strong mental models for evaluating AI and ML products, features, and business proposals
  • Learn how data, models, feedback loops, bias, and human oversight shape real-world ML systems
  • Identify common failure modes in machine learning systems, including drift, overfitting, hallucinations, and bias
  • Evaluate ML products using business impact, trust, adoption, risk, and operational realities instead of accuracy alone
  • Learn how to communicate effectively with ML engineers, AI vendors, and executive stakeholders
  • Understand when to use machine learning, when not to use it, and how to avoid costly AI mistakes
  • Build AI-native product thinking by connecting ML concepts to UX, governance, economics, ethics, and strategy
  • Analyze real-world ML case studies across recommendation systems, fraud detection, healthcare, HR, and generative AI
  • Gain the confidence to make smarter product, business, and governance decisions in AI-driven organizations
