The Artificial Intelligence for Executives program is designed for business leaders and senior executives from a diversity of companies and sectors who seek a broader understanding of the potential impact of artificial intelligence on their work, organization and competitive landscape. The program explores AI from a managerial (not technological) viewpoint. With this in mind, IT expertise is not required.

The Artificial Intelligence for Executives program leverages a wide range of highly dynamic and interactive teaching methodologies, including group discussions, class lectures, exercises, the case study method and a computer simulation, all aimed to hone your skills as an agent of change. These teaching methods have been strategically combined to foster an optimal learning environment.

To ensure participants get the most out of the program, they will be asked to prepare the academic materials provided two weeks before the program’s start date.

The admission process has three steps:
