Here is the course summary!
Welcome to the Berkeley Haas Executive Education Artificial Intelligence: Business Strategies and Applications program.
In recent years, technological advancement in the field of AI has been rapid. AI is not just for technology companies anymore. Businesses from all industries are realizing the promise that AI brings across the enterprise, from marketing to operations. Leaders should be prepared to join this AI revolution or risk getting left behind. To compete in this new tech-driven economy, you must understand how game-changing technologies such as AI can benefit the different business functions in your organization.
In this program, you will learn about the basics of AI technologies and how they can be effectively applied to your organization and industry. You can expect a hands-on approach that builds a bridge between the engineering and technical aspects of AI with the business applications. Leading faculty from both disciplines teach in the program, bringing their diverse experiences to the topic of AI.
This program will explore the following key takeaways:
- Methods to organize and manage successful AI application projects
- Strategies to communicate effectively with technical teams and colleagues related to AI-related tasks
- Suggestions to avoid pitfalls associated with these new technologies
By the end of the program, you will be able to:
- Identify examples and opportunities for AI application strategies.
- Analyze a company or industry’s practical application of AI-related modeling and strategies.
- Describe results of testing sample AI, such as a neural network and a robot.
- Identify positive and negative consequences of AI application strategies in terms of identified frameworks.
- Complete a presentation outlining a personal organizational initiative for an AI-based opportunity incorporating specified program content and personal reflections.
It’s not about becoming a technical expert, but rather having basic knowledge of AI and how it can be positioned to improve efficiency and effectiveness of business functions. The program includes live and recorded lectures, case studies, assignments, applied learning opportunities, and interactive discussion groups. The program also includes four live teaching sessions, real-world examples, and a capstone project.
