Syllabus

What is Artificial Intelligence?

AI is reshaping the marketing landscape, but success requires moving past the hype to understand functional tools. In this module, you’ll distinguish between science fiction and business reality while identifying how language, vision, and robotics can drive practical results.

What Makes Machine Learning Different?

Traditional programming follows strict rules, but machine learning allows software to derive its own rules from data. In this module, you’ll apply supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning techniques to solve complex marketing problems like lead qualification and campaign optimization.

Where Machine Learning Shines

Managing millions of customers with thousands of attributes requires more than just a spreadsheet. In this module, you’ll utilize machine learning to manage high-dimensional data, automate programmatic advertising, and deliver deep personalization at scale.

Onboarding AI Tips

Implementing AI requires more than just technical skill; it demands clear goals and a strong data foundation. In this module, you’ll build strategies to ensure data quality, choose the right projects, and navigate corporate culture to launch successful AI initiatives.

Being a Valuable Human

AI is a powerful tool, but it lacks the empathy and reasoning that only humans provide. In this module, you’ll hone your unique human superpowers—like integrated cognition—to collaborate with AI agents and prepare for a future of machine-to-machine marketing.
