Prepare to be a Leader of AI-driven Automation in Organizations
The on-campus AI for Business Information Systems certificate is designed to help you understand, at an intuitive level, how AI works, how you can lead AI initiatives, and what business problems are best suited for AI intervention. Our project-focused curriculum helps you develop the skills that tomorrow needs.
Organizations are on the cusp of experiencing a long-lasting wave of automation because of the emergence of large language models (LLM), such as ChatGPT and Gemini, and other related AI technologies. Over the next several decades, organizations will need leaders capable of understanding the ever-changing landscape of AI and identifying ways to use AI and manage AI initiatives to remain competitive. They already use numerous IT systems to automate tasks and facilitate collaboration between business units. For example, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems help organizations track and manage important decisions across business units—integrating AI capabilities into current data-rich systems to identify opportunities for improving efficiencies, increasing customer service, opening new markets, and more.
