Our Vision
The name DataSoSi reflects our vision of equipping non-technical students—particularly those from social sciences, business, management, and related fields—with the skills to analyze and interpret data in a world increasingly shaped by information and technology. We are committed to empowering individuals without traditional technical backgrounds to thrive in the data-driven era.
DataSoSi is a proudly Canadian education-first institute, founded and powered by the Canadian Institute of Artificial Intelligence (CiAI). As a Canadian-originated institution, we emphasize accessibility and inclusivity, delivering world-class AI and data education to learners across diverse disciplines.
At CiAI, we recognize that the data science and AI revolution has often felt out of reach for students in social sciences, business, and other non-technical disciplines. Our mission is to bridge this gap by proving that you don’t need to be a STEM major to unlock rewarding career opportunities in data-driven fields.
We have carefully designed a curriculum tailored for non-technical learners, equipping them with the skills to analyze data effectively and build confidence in applying AI and machine learning tools. Our programs focus on empowering students with practical knowledge and critical thinking to excel in a data-centric world.
The rise of advanced AI technologies highlights the need for a new approach to data science education. It’s not just about producing coders but about cultivating leaders who can integrate AI, drive innovation, and navigate the complexities of the digital age.
At CiAI, we are committed to preparing you for this challenge, ensuring that you don’t just participate in the conversation—you lead it.
Our Mission
At CiAI, our mission is to democratize high-quality data science education, making it accessible to anyone who seeks to learn—without the need to pay exorbitant fees of $10,000 to $20,000 for traditional bootcamps.
We believe that education should be affordable, accessible, and impactful. Our courses are designed by some of the best minds in the field, combining practical applications with academic excellence to ensure a world-class learning experience.
You don’t need to break the bank to gain valuable skills. At a fraction of the cost, we provide an education rooted in Canadian standards that equips learners with the tools to thrive in today’s data-driven world.
We aim to reach students globally—wherever there is internet access—offering them the opportunity to achieve their goals through affordable, top-tier education. Join us and experience the future of learning without barriers.
Who we are
At CiAI, we are a non-profit business science institute dedicated to democratizing education in AI and machine learning by making it accessible and affordable. For too long, these fields have been perceived as the exclusive domain of computer scientists. Our mission is to open the doors of AI education to students from social sciences, business, and other non-technical disciplines, equipping them to become experts in data analysis using cutting-edge machine learning techniques. Our goal is to help you advance your profession by mastering new skills, refine, and applying them to push boundaries in your field.
If you have taken courses in research methods or statistics, you already have the foundation to begin your journey into AI and data science. At CiAI, we build on that background, providing you with advanced tools and insights to tackle real-world challenges.
Whether you are a seasoned coder or just starting out, our courses are designed for everyone. We are committed to helping students achieve mastery through focused, high-quality education. At CiAI, we don’t promise jobs simply because you can code. Instead, we provide an education that equips you to leverage data effectively across disciplines. Whether you aim to integrate AI into the workflow of your current role or step into a domain-specific field where data is essential, CiAI prepares you to succeed.
Our focus isn’t just on training data scientists—it’s on developing critical thinkers who can apply AI and data science to create real-world value for companies. Join us and be part of a movement to democratize AI education for a more inclusive, data-driven future.
How You Will Learn
At CiAI, learning goes beyond the classroom or pre-packaged datasets. You will engage with real-world datasets used by our course designer, Dr. Lokanan in his industry projects and groundbreaking research publications. These datasets reflect the complexity and challenges of real-world scenarios, providing a rich and practical learning experience that prepares you to tackle real-life problems.
Unlike many courses that rely on overly simplified or hypothetical datasets, CiAI emphasizes the importance of grappling with the messy, multidimensional nature of real data. You will learn how to clean, analyze, and draw meaningful insights from datasets that mirror those used in the industries you aspire to work in.
Working with real dataset ensures you develop not just technical skills but also the critical thinking and problem-solving abilities required to succeed in fields where AI and machine learning play a pivotal role. Whether your goal is to integrate data-driven techniques into your current profession or transition into a specialized AI-driven role, our hands-on, applied learning methodology equips you with the confidence and expertise to excel.
