AI Apprentice to AI Architect - Part 4 AI Architect
Elements of an Artificial Intelligence Architect
An Artificial Intelligence (AI) Architect works and interacts with various groups in an organization, including IT Architects and IT Developers. It is important to differentiate between the work activities performed by these groups and how they work together. This course will introduce you to the AI Architect role. You'll discover what the role is, why it's important, and who the architect interacts with on a daily basis. We will also examine and categorize their daily work activities and will compare those activities with those of an IT Architect and an IT Developer. The AI Architect helps many groups within the organization, and we will examine their activities within those groups as well. Finally, we will highlight the roles the AI Architect plays in the organizations which they are a member of.
AI Enterprise Planning
In this course, you'll be introduced to the concepts, methodologies, and tools required for effectively and efficiently incorporating AI into your IT enterprise planning. You'll look at enterprise planning from an AI perspective, and view projects in tactical/strategic and current, intermediate, or future state contexts. You'll explore how to use an AI Maturity Model to conduct an AI Maturity Assessment of the current and future states of AI planning, and how to conduct a gap analysis between those states. Next, you'll learn about the components of a discovery map, project complexity, and a variety of graphs and tables that enable you to handle complexity. You'll see how complexity can be significantly reduced using AI accelerators and how they affect specific phases of the AI development lifecycle. You'll move on to examine how to create an AI enterprise roadmap using all of the artifacts just described, plus a KPIs/Value Metrics table, and how both of these can be used as inputs to an analytics dashboard. Finally, you'll explore numerous examples of AI applications of different types in diverse business areas.
AI in Industry
Designing successful and competitive AI products involves thorough research on its existing application in various markets. Most large scale businesses use AI in their workflows to optimize business operations. AI Architects should be aware of all possible applications of AI so they can look at market trends and come up with the most appropriate, novel, and useful AI solutions for their industry. In this course, you'll explore examples of standard AI applications in various industries like Finance, Marketing, Sales, Manufacturing, Transportation, Cybersecurity, Pharmaceutical, and Telecommunications. You'll examine how AI is utilized by leading AI companies within each of these industries. You'll identify which AI technologies are common across all industries and which are industry-specific. Finally, you'll recognize why AI is imperative to the successful operation of many industries.
Leveraging Reusable AI Architecture Patterns
AI architecture patterns, some of which have been known for many years, have been formally identified as such only in the last couple of years. In this course, you'll identify 12 reusable, standard AI architecture patterns, and 3 AI architecture anti-patterns frequently used to architect common AI applications. You'll learn to differentiate between architecture and design patterns and explore how they're used. Next, you'll examine the structure of an AI architecture pattern, and that of an anti-pattern and its different parts. You'll identify when specific patterns should or can be used, when they need to be avoided, and how to avoid using anti-patterns. You will also learn that even good patterns can become anti-patterns when applied to solve a problem they were not intended for.
Evaluating Current and Future AI Technologies and Frameworks
Solid knowledge of the AI technology landscape is fundamental in choosing the right tools to use as an AI Architect. In this course, you'll explore the current and future AI technology landscape, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of common AI platforms and frameworks. You'll move on to examine AI libraries and pre-trained models, distinguishing their advantages and disadvantages. You'll then classify AI datasets and see a list of dataset topics. Finally, You'll learn how to make informed decisions about which AI technology is best suited to your projects.
Explainable AI
The inner workings of many deep learning systems are complicated, if not impossible, for the human mind to comprehend. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) aims to provide AI experts with transparency into these systems. In this course, you'll describe what Explainable AI is, how to use it, and the data structures behind XAI's preferred algorithms. Next, you'll explore the interpretability problem and today's state-of-the-art solutions to it. You'll identify XAI regulations, define the "right to explanation", and illustrate real-world examples where this has been applicable. You'll move on to recognize both the Counterfactual and Axiomatic methods, distinguishing their pros and cons. You'll investigate the intelligible models method, along with the concepts of monotonicity and rationalization. Finally, you'll learn how to use a Generative Adversarial Network.
AI Architect
Explore topics and scenarios typically encountered by AI Architects such as working with an AI Steward Board, implementing an AI analytics dashboard and identifying similarities and differences in AI applications implemented across difference industries. You will also be tasked with identifying the best platform given a scenario, comparing and contrasting Parameter-Sharing and Federated Learning AI architectures, and applying AI explainability methods. This lab provides access to tools typically used by AI Architects, including: - Jupyter Notebook - Anaconda This lab is part of the AI Apprentice track of the Skillsoft Aspire AI Apprentice to AI Architect journey.
Final Exam: AI Architect
Final Exam: AI Architect will test your knowledge and application of the topics presented throughout the AI Architect track of the Skillsoft Aspire AI Apprentice to AI Architect Journey.
