Further your AI knowledge by signing up to our of our Deep Learning Institute courses

 

As the UK’s leading NVIDIA Elite Partner, Scan AI is also certified to deliver NVIDIA-certified education and training courses. The two courses are instructor-led Deep Learning Institute (DLI) courses or Ideation Workshops. Click the tabs below to explore each further.

Investigation

• Involve all stakeholders to establish where you are in your AI journey, what are your goals and use cases

• Explore how to accelerate the business, reduce time to insight, and achieve ROI


Planning

• Map your goals to a schedule of activities and set priorities

• Create a roadmap to start using AI in your business


Implementation

• Run pilot projects to gain momentum

• How to build an in-house AI team and provide in-house AI training

• Managing internal and external communications

What is an NVIDIA AI Ideation Workshop?

In collaboration with NVIDIA, the Scan AI team is able to provide an Ideation virtual workshop for your organisation. In this workshop, you will be able to evaluate your existing AI projects and wider strategy, or use the day to formulate an AI plan from scratch. This will be done in collaboration with experts in AI and deep learning practices from both Scan AI and NVIDIA. Following the workshop you will receive a written report with recommendations and guidance as how to implement your plans.

Your workshop will be completely subsidised by Scan and NVIDIA - with no charges and no obligation to purchase anything. Our goal is to promote the wider use of AI technology and show you the possibilities within your industry vertical.
