What stood out most was the programme's practical and structured approach to AI adoption. The industry-specific examples, combined with clear frameworks for evaluating feasibility and designing solutions, made the learning highly relevant to our business.
What stood out most was the trainer's simple way of explaining Data Science and GenAI, and showing us different AI tools that I had not used before. It made me realise how useful these tools can be in our daily work.
