Course overview

Elevate Your Product Game in this rapidly evolving AI Age

According to a 2023 MIT study, a significant transformation is underway in the global business environment, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) at its core. It's projected that 80% of companies globally will incorporate Machine Learning (ML; a subset of AI) into their product offerings, marking a pivotal shift in how industries operate.


For product professionals, acquiring a deep understanding of ML (technology that powers ChatGPT), is no longer optional; it's essential for establishing credibility, making informed decisions, and effectively collaborating with engineering teams.


Cut through the noise and level up your ML game with this Weekend LIVE cohort-based course.
