Course Description

Today’s companies and investors are all starting to evaluate how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will either positively or negatively impact their organization’s growth, profits and overall returns.

According to Research from the World Economic Forum (WEF) and McKinsey, AI will increasingly disrupt what we do, who does it and how all work is done as pieces of human work are transferred to machines. On the positive side, AI is expected to add significant growth and value to the world’s economy for the companies and countries that develop it.
