Artificial Intelligence for Aviation Applications
This FREE course is intended for aviation professionals of all levels who would like to get a basic understanding of AI while exploring its application to aviation.
Course Overview
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of machines or computer systems to perform tasks which would normally require human intelligence. Such tasks may include visual perception, speech recognition, and content generation, amongst others. AI effectively tries to mimic the thinking process, and the problem-solving and decision-making capabilities of the human brain.
AI is becoming ubiquitous and is finding its way in many industries, including aviation. This highlights the need for aviation professionals to have a baseline understanding of AI and its impact on aviation. This course seeks to address this need by providing aviation professionals of all backgrounds with a basic, yet broad, understanding of AI and its application to aviation.
The course begins with a brief look at the history of AI and a description of key AI capabilities and applications. It then describes different ML techniques and algorithms; presents real-world applications of AI in the aviation industry; and discusses various aspects of trustworthy AI and their implications for the aviation sector.
