Learn & Earn with DigiSkills Training Program
This course introduces the fundamental concepts of Artificial Intelligence with a strong focus on implementation using Python. It explores how intelligent systems are developed through data analysis, machine learning techniques, and algorithmic decision-making. Students gain practical experience in building and evaluating AI models using widely adopted Python libraries . The course combines theoretical foundations with hands-on exercises to strengthen problem-solving and programming skills. Major topics include supervised and unsupervised learning, neural networks, data preprocessing, and model evaluation methods. Emphasis is placed on understanding how data influences model performance and accuracy. Students also learntechniques for visualization, feature engineering, and performance improvement. Real-world applications of AI in domains such as cybersecurity and automation are discussed to provide practical context. Ethical and responsible use of AI technologies is also highlighted. By the end of the course, learners will be capable of developing and accessing basic AI-based solutions using Python tools and frameworks.
Dr. Yasir Niaz Khan obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Tubingen, Germany in 2013. During his Ph.D. he conducted research on detection of terrain (ground surfaces) using a camera mounted on a flying and a ground robot. Upon completing his graduate studies, Dr. Khan started teaching robotics at FAST-NU, Lahore, Pakistan. He started a new robotics Lab at FAST-NU for robotics students to promote robotics in Pakistan. Dr. Khan supervised many national and international level robotic events held at FAST-NU where professors and students from different universities presented their work in robotics field.
Dr. Khan joined The University of Lahore, the largest private sector university in Pakistan, and has started to extend his work further. He is now Director of Research Group on Robotics and AI that he established at the university. He has been involved in multiple projects on Agricultural Automation funded by DAAD Germany. He has been working as a Consultant with Engro Corp.
He worked as a Software Architect AI in 10Pearls for about a year. Currently he is working as Chief Technological Officer at Punjab Safe Cities Authority and as a Senior Research Fellow at LUMS. For more information on Prof. Khan's work visit https://www.yasirniaz.com
