The AI & Machine Learning Project Leadership course helps you understand how AI and ML systems are built, trained, and evaluated so you can lead machine learning projects with clarity and confidence. You will learn how data shapes model performance, how engineers develop and refine models, and how to guide ML work across iterative cycles.
Through real case studies, hands-on analysis, and instructor-led guidance, you will build the vocabulary, workflows, and decision-making skills needed to collaborate with technical teams and deliver ML initiatives that create meaningful results in engineering and scientific environments.
