Artificial Intelligence: Business Strategies and Applications
UC Berkeley Executive Education offers the online Artificial Intelligence: Business Strategies and Applications program for senior leaders, functional heads, and professionals exploring AI adoption. Over two months, learners allocate four to six hours weekly to study generative AI, prediction simulations, algorithmic bias, and organizational change. The curriculum includes four live sessions, subject to change, starting with current business applications and progressing through predictive models and team building, concluding with future AI trends. Participants engage with recorded materials, case studies featuring organizations like Vodafone, assignments, and discussions. The program requires a USD 3050 fee and culminates in a Capstone Business Challenge Project. Successful participants receive a digital Certificate of Completion, which does not confer degree credit.
