While having a relatively long history, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is still actively evolving to where it is now emerging as an essential technology across every industry. The purpose of this course is to prepare IT and non-IT managers for creating effective AI strategies and plans that leverage AI and Cognitive Computing for competitive advantage. The focus of this course will be on learning the essentials of modern AI, leading industry current and future business application initiatives, and deriving AI deployment strategies, business cases, and plans, as well as considerations for organizational structure, sourcing, and governance processes.
Through an engaging mix of understanding the current and emerging AI and Cognitive Computing technologies, business insights, industry examples, and their impact on the business, the learning journey will bring into sharp focus the reality of contemporary AI and Cognitive Computing and how they can be harnessed to support representative cross industry as well as industry specific (e.g. Finance, Retail, Healthcare) applications.
Focusing on key AI and Cognitive Computing technologies, such as machine learning, natural language processing and deep learning, this course will help candidates understand the implications of these new technologies for business strategies, as well as the economic and society issues they address. The course will also examine how artificial intelligence and cognitive computing will complement and strengthen the workforce rather than just eliminate jobs. Additionally, the course will emphasize how the collective intelligence of people and computers can solve business problems that not long ago were considered impossible.
Upon completion of this course IT and non-IT candidates will be prepared to deliver an organizational AI strategy that addresses specific technology management and organizational aspects for ensuring successful deployment of AI.
