Artificial Intelligence training: Learn about the requirements

Detalhe da Notícia

If you want to invest in training in the field of Artificial Intelligence, we explain how to choose the most suitable course for you in this article.

The growth of Artificial Intelligence has revolutionized some existing professions, such as digital marketing, health, accounting, translation, teaching, and investments, for example, but it has also helped to create many other possibilities in the field of technology.

Despite the many reservations regarding AI and the increasing computational complexity, the truth is that the development of these areas has allowed the training of many professionals who have started operating in companies from different sectors with very different functions.

In this sense, educational institutions linked to new technologies have begun to develop courses in recent years, ranging from bachelor's degrees to master's degrees, or even doctorates, related to Artificial Intelligence and automation, providing new complete training courses that allow those interested to specialize in a specific area.

 

New training areas linked to Artificial Intelligence

More recently, new areas of vocational training have emerged involving AI, which is essential for Industry 4.0:

  1. Automation and Robotics: AI is used to design, build and program robots and autonomous systems;
  2. Data Science: These professionals are experts in analytical data and have high knowledge in areas such as statistics;
  3. Business Intelligence: Through the use of tools and advanced methods, professionals carry out a strategy that is profitable for a given company at various levels;
  4. Machine learning: These engineers develop algorithms and models that allow machines to improve their performance over time;
  5. Cybersecurity: Professionals in this area ensure information security and protection of digital devices and company networks.
 

Entry requirements for an Artificial Intelligence course 

The requirements defined for entry to AI-related courses in Portugal depend on:

  1. The educational institution where you wish to apply, which defines its own requirements and study plans;
  2. The course you want to take itself. Bearing in mind that the field of AI is quite broad and allows specialization in different branches, the training course you choose will, therefore, have different entry conditions.

For example, in the area of Data Science, it is essential to obtain in-depth training in mathematics and data analysis, and it is crucial to know different software and programming languages.

How to choose the best AI course for you

To ensure you make the best choice, you should:

  • Understand which AI-related area best suits your background/area of interest;
  • Carry out intensive research into the training on offer in this area and the career opportunities each offers;
  • Take into account the requirements for entry to the course - you may be required to already have a degree in a related field, for example;
  • Understand how much time you will need to spend to complete the course, its costs, and the type of regime in which it is taught in order to manage your expectations.
