INTRODUCTION
Artificial Intelligence has been steadily extending its influence over businesses around the world, which
has created a steady demand for AI professionals. While the focus has been on the opportunities

outcomes. Emerging AI professionals need to maximize their productivity and achieve business success

how to use various no-code platforms to create software applications and processes without learning to
code. As today's organizations are transforming increasingly agile, these no-code approaches are
increasingly popular due to their rich functionality and ability to turn projects in a fraction of time as
compared to traditional, low-code operations.

We are now past the point of touting that AI is going to be the next big thing. Businesses are already
leveraging AI to take superior products to market, like the optimizing language model called ChatGPT
that has taken the world of AI to new dimensions. The success of the AI efforts of any company hinges
on the leadership behind it. Modern business leaders need a proper understanding of the capabilities
and limitations of AI to transform their businesses.

The Post Graduate Program in Artificial Intelligence for Leaders is a 4-month intensive online program
for leaders who want to leverage the power of AI and Data Science without having to write a line of
code. The program suits business professionals, looking to decode the AI landscape and build Data
Science solutions using no-code AI algorithms. Relevant profiles include product managers, directors,
category managers, CXOs, delivery managers, senior managers and team leads who want to upskill
themselves. The program focuses on conceptual and real-world case-based approach which helps to
simulate working scenarios where AI can be adopted to improve business outcomes.
