A certificate for managers and executives who must decide on artificial intelligence projects without being technical. It teaches how to frame a use case, estimate its real cost, spot a project that will not land, and measure usage rather than accounts created.

Learning objectives

  • Frame a use case from a business problem, not from a technology
  • Estimate a project's real cost, data and adoption included
  • Recognise the three configurations where AI projects systematically fail
  • Define indicators of actual use, not of deployment
