What participants of CEAI programmes say, in their own words

CAAI

Very interactive and relatable. Prof Nazri breaks down complex subjects into relevant shapes and sizes for all attendees from different industry background to appreciate. He is speaking to everyone and talking to each person individually at the same time.

The enthusiasm shown by the team and the determination to ensure people feel comfortable & excited about exploring the opportunities that AI can bring to their various fields of expertise. Created such an environment will get the best out of everyone involved. I also like the potential for commercialisation should the proposed solution have industry wide application & appeal.

CAAI

What I enjoyed most about the programme is the one on one tutorial: able to focus on the project and get on to the right track. Starting to get a hang of the construction of mind map and decision tree model. Going to improve further after the tutorial. Was quite restrictive in my drafts and unsure about how to construct correctly. Now I have a better idea and will be able to stretch out the decision tree model.

What I enjoyed most about the programme is the clarity of the contents. At first, it was a bit tricky but with practice, it has become much easier.

Easy to use, interesting. Designing and building the mindmap and decision tree mode help me to organize my knowledge systematically.
