From Skeptic to Advocate, My MIT AI for Leaders Experience
I’m truly glad I took the MIT AI for Leaders course. It’s been one of the most rewarding learning experiences in my career. Though I’ve done several technical programs before, this one stands out especially for leaders. The course is well-designed, practical, and accessible even to those without a technical background. At first, i must say i must honestly say i was dragged by a colleague’s recommendation and didn’t take it seriously. But a few weeks in, I realized how valuable it was and then fully engaged. Tools like KNIME made it easy to build models without coding, setting this course apart from traditional data science programs. The lectures and industry experts were engaging, the quizzes were well-paced, and most importantly The real-time Peer rating system kept me motivated which is one thing which lacks most e-learning platforms. Special thanks to Kamaksh our Program Director for being flexible with scheduling especially weekends where at timed duty would call in, something i personally appreciate as i work in ICT support industry at times we at work none stop attending to issues. The Capstone Project brought it all together and allowed cross-country collaboration, which was a great learning experience in itself. I highly recommend this course to senior leaders and most importantly non-technical business people whom i think will benefit even more from this on how they can explore AI and include in their Digital Transformation programs.
