When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Evaluate AI Risks: Adopt Smart Predictions is a beginner-level course designed for project managers, analysts, and business leaders who need to make smart decisions about using AI tools. In a world full of AI hype, how do you prove if a risk prediction model is a valuable asset or a dangerous liability? This course teaches you to look past simple accuracy and use the metrics that matter.

You will learn to apply a professional evaluation framework, using precision and recall to measure an AI model's true performance. Through hands-on activities and guided coaching, you will build a confusion matrix from historical data, calculate these critical metrics, and translate them into clear business terms. The course culminates in creating a concise AI Model Evaluation Report, where you will synthesize your findings to make a definitive 'go/no-go' recommendation. By the end, you won't just be using AI; you'll be able to critically assess its readiness and justify your adoption decisions with hard data.

Module details

This foundational module introduces the critical concepts needed to evaluate any AI prediction model. You will learn why simple accuracy is often misleading and discover how to frame a model’s performance using a confusion matrix. By the end of this module, you will be able to define precision and recall, the two most important metrics for understanding a model's real-world effectiveness, and classify prediction outcomes correctly.

In this module, you will move from concepts to calculation. You will learn the specific formulas for precision and recall and apply them to a real-world dataset. This hands-on process will transform the raw output of a confusion matrix into two powerful numbers that tell a clear story about the model's performance.

In this final module, you will learn to synthesize your metrics into a clear, defensible business recommendation. Calculating the numbers is not sufficient; you must interpret what they mean for the project and make the final call: adopt the model, reject it, or send it back for retraining.
