Executives are leveraging digital transformation initiatives across almost all organizations in every conceivable industry to grapple with a variety of problems to build flexibility and resilience. Artificial Intelligence (AI), in a near-unprecedented manner, is opening up new possibilities – in some cases, the likes of which we never imagined previously. This course will address a need in industry, and in broader society, to harness AI to achieve transformative outcomes. The focus will be on understanding AI-specific issues that relate to the need for specific business strategies. This will involve examples of the use of AI in specific industries and applications, effective decision-making frameworks that incorporate AI and humans, verification and evaluation of AI initiatives, risk & responsible use, regulatory aspects and broader governance issues. Classes will be a mix of lectures, case discussions, flipped formats and student presentations.
