Artificial Intelligence Management
Artificial intelligence and machine learning systems are a very new technology to be employed in business, and they are currently being used to organize and optimize supply chains, manage customer relationships, transfer organizational knowledge, and optimize enterprise resources. These systems require skilled people to deploy and manage them, and businesses have identified that the ongoing challenge they face with making effective use of these systems is a lack of skilled people to deploy and manage them. This presents an incredible opportunity for students to start a unique and in-demand career that pushes business technology into the future. This program focuses on topics such as AI business models, AI ethics, machine learning for business, computer vision, and natural language processing.
