Itโs a special milestone when a learning journey levels up โ moving from legacy foundations to the pulse of modern AI. Today, Iโm proud to announce the next chapter on NORAI Connect:

This isnโt just another online course. Itโs the third in the NORAI Connect Foundations of AI series โ a series that began by clarifying the roots of intelligence, then moved through the logic-driven era of symbolic AI and now brings you straight into the world of data-driven learning.
Letโs dive into whatโs inside โ and why this course (and NORAI Connect itself) matter for Europeโs future.

โMachine learningโ is one of the most misused buzzwords in tech โ yet itโs also the driving force behind the modern AI revolution. From search engines and voice assistants to fraud detection and medical diagnostics, ML is now everywhere.

This course was designed to change that. Instead of hype, we offer a clear path:
- What machine learning really is (and isnโt)
- How learning from data differs from learning from rules
- Whatโs under the hood in algorithms powering todayโs breakthroughs
For everyone from technical leads and product managers to curious entrepreneurs and policymakers, if you want to understand the how and why of AIโs data-driven heart, youโre in the right place.

We built this course to be approachable, but never shallow. Hereโs whatโs inside:
1. The Data-Driven Paradigm:
- Why ML overtook symbolic AI in many domains
- Key differences and the role of data
2. Types of Machine Learning:
- Supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning โ when, why and how to use each
- Semi-Supervised and Self-Supervised learning
3. The ML Workflow:
- Data collection, cleaning, feature engineering and splitting
- The full journey from raw data to usable models
4. Core Algorithms Explained:
- Regression, decision trees, SVMs, clustering, neural nets and more โ what they do and why they matter
- Hands-on examples
5. Deep Learning & Transformers:
- How neural networks mimic (and differ from) the brain
- CNNs, RNNs, transformers โ without the black-box jargon
6. Evaluation, Metrics & Validation:
- Accuracy, precision, recall, F1, overfitting, underfitting โ how real experts measure and improve models
7. From Vision to Language to Robotics:
- Case studies: vision, natural language, self-driving cars, healthcare
- Reinforcement learning in the real world
8. Responsible AI:
- Bias, fairness, explainability and the risks that come with power
- How to spot and mitigate them
9. Machine Learning in Practice:
- MLOps, deployment, monitoring, model lifecycle
10. The Road Ahead:
- Where ML is heading next and how to keep up
