Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the way organisations work with data. As a data professional, you can play a key role in this. AI automates processes, recognises complex patterns and generates breakthrough insights. But AI can only succeed when it is built on a solid foundation of data management and governance. Without good data, you run into challenges such as poor quality, lack of transparency and ethical risks.
Ready to take your AI skills to the next level?
In this inspiring two-day AI training, delivered by Erik Fransen and Pieter den Hamer (guest lecturer at Connected Data Academy), you discover how to use data management and governance effectively to make AI solutions not only technically powerful, but also ethically responsible and trustworthy. In these interactive sessions you combine up-to-date theory with hands-on workshops, so you learn directly how to implement AI successfully within your organisation.
Why is this training essential for you?
Learn the essential AI techniques and applications in a practical way.
Understand how to strengthen AI projects with effective data management and governance.
Discover how to prevent poor data quality, lack of transparency and ethical risks from undermining your AI projects.
Get concrete tools and methods to integrate AI seamlessly with existing processes.
This training is more than knowledge transfer. It is the opportunity to strengthen your role as a data professional and help your organisation move forward in the AI era.

What can you expect?
A solid foundation in classic AI techniques
Insight into heuristics, search algorithms, expert systems and machine learning.
Understand how these techniques are applied in practice and how they evolve.
Relevance: essential for data professionals who want to understand which AI methods fit specific business problems.
The crucial role of data management within AI
How data quality, metadata, lineage and governance affect AI projects.
The importance of data labelling, annotation and feature engineering.
Relevance: AI is only as good as the data it is trained on. This helps you set up AI projects right from the start.
Hands-on sessions with AI tools
Demos and real-world examples with AI platforms such as MindsDB, Azure ML, KNIME and RapidMiner.
Experiment yourself with data preparation and model development.
Relevance: theory is useful, but applying AI tools yourself makes them truly usable.
Generative AI and the impact on data management
Insight into foundation models, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and fine-tuning.
Data preparation for Generative AI, including vector databases and information retrieval.
Relevance: organisations increasingly look for ways to implement Generative AI responsibly. Here you learn how.
AI governance and compliance: risks and regulation
How data governance frameworks such as DAMA-DMBOK contribute to AI management.
AI Act, GDPR, ethics, bias and security risks such as data poisoning.
Relevance: AI brings new risks. Knowledge of governance and compliance is crucial to manage them.
Action plan for AI in your organisation
How do you organise collaboration between AI and data teams?
Which governance and management provisions are still missing?
Relevance: you leave the training not just with knowledge, but with a concrete plan to strengthen AI in your organisation.
Why take part?
After this training you have the knowledge and skills to apply AI responsibly and effectively. You learn how to set up and manage data science and AI projects, gain insight into the latest AI trends and discover how AI and data governance come together.
