Overview
About the program
A master's program for managers and business owners. You study what AI can do in sales, operations, finance and service, how to choose and run AI projects, and how to manage the risks.
The Artificial Intelligence in Business program is designed for people who already work in the field. It covers AI for managers, data as a business asset, automation of processes, AI in marketing and customer service, managing AI projects and suppliers, and ends with risk, ethics and regulation.
Like every Madison program, it is built for working adults. Courses you already master through your work are tested and recorded with a grade; the rest you study online, at your own pace, with tasks carried out in your own workplace.
In preparation. This program is not open for enrollment yet. It opens when its curriculum and courses are in place on the learning platform.
