Course Overview

Artificial Intelligence for Leaders builds the knowledge needed to evaluate AI opportunities and guide responsible business adoption. The course introduces essential AI concepts in a management context, including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. Participants learn to connect these capabilities with meaningful use cases and clearly defined business goals.

The program follows the decisions leaders make when moving an idea toward implementation. It examines data requirements, technology and talent needs, vendor assessment, governance, and performance measurement. Participants develop a practical basis for comparing options, shaping a business case, and coordinating cross-functional contributions. The focus is on asking informed questions and making sound adoption decisions that reflect the organization's objectives and resources.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Explain core AI concepts and distinguish their common business applications.
• Assess AI use cases for business relevance and potential value.
• Identify data, technology, and talent requirements for a proposed AI initiative.
• Compare in-house development and vendor solutions using defined evaluation criteria.
• Outline governance, ethical review, and risk-management considerations for AI adoption.
• Develop a business case with measurable objectives and performance indicators.
• Define cross-functional responsibilities and capability-building actions for implementation.

Practical Application

Apply the learning to make AI proposals easier to evaluate, govern, and measure.

• Well-defined use cases: Turn a business opportunity into a clear statement of purpose, required data, expected users, and measures of success.
• Informed solution selection: Structure vendor and internal-team discussions around fit, capability, resources, and responsible use.
• Accountable implementation: Connect business ownership, governance, and performance reviews so AI initiatives remain aligned with their intended purpose.
