Course Overview
Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) are emerging technologies that are disrupting every area of industry. Whether business intelligence, supply chain management, customer service, finance, or human resources, AI/ML management knowledge workers are required to design and implement AI solutions. This course provides a business perspective for integrating AI and ML into an organization’s business strategy. Students will explore the history of artificial intelligence, compare different AI algorithms, and evaluate the ethical implications of these technologies. AI/ML business models and techniques will be outlined, and the student will carry out simple machine learning experiments. The toolsets and frameworks that allow an artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) management knowledge worker to create a business solution without complex programming will be the focus of this course. The students will manage and train neural networks using various models and construct an image classification application.
