Overview

There are two main motivations for research. One is to understand natural intelligence through the use of computer models. The other provides techniques and technology for building systems capable of intelligent decisions and actions. AI is both a science and an engineering discipline.

Applications of AI range from 'smart' controllers for household devices to computers with the ability to:

converse in English

play games

conduct intelligent web searches

act as the brain of a robot

They offer a wide range of AI courses delivered by leaders in their field. You will have the flexibility to focus on the areas of artificial intelligence that interest you most.
