Course Description
This course introduces you to the capabilities, limitations, and biases of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and how they may be applied to solve business challenges and drive organizational growth. You will develop key artifacts throughout this course, including slide decks, literature and case study reviews, and implementation plans. During this course, you will learn how to engage in research and apply findings from cutting-edge literature and case studies to selecting and using AI tools in a business environment. At the end of the course, you will be able to articulate the range of business challenges that can be addressed using AI to transform and optimize business operations.

.
On successful completion of this course you will be able to:
CLO1: Map data science approaches to business functionality and data characteristics to solve data-informed business challenges.
CLO2: Critically evaluate literature to identify solutions for business and organisational challenges.
CLO3: Propose and justify a strategy to translate proven evidence-based approaches to new contexts and propose organizational capabilities to be developed, augmented, or automated with Artificial Intelligence techniques in a business setting.
CLO4: Critically evaluate the consequences of automation within and across organisations and sectors from an organisational leadership perspective in a business context.
CLO5: Logically and comprehensively analyse ethical perspectives related to designing, training, and using Artificial Intelligence to understand impact, minimize bias, and improve the validity of outcomes for businesses.
Overview of Learning Activities
This course uses highly structured learning activities to guide your learning process and prepare you for your assessments. a range of individual and group activities to facilitate learning. These include completing the required and recommended readings and attending in-class and online activities in which seminars and group discussions take place. The activities are a combination of individual, peer-supported, and facilitator-guided activities, and where possible, project-led, with opportunities for feedback throughout.
Authentic and industry-relevant learning is critical to this course, and you will be encouraged to critically compare and contrast and apply your industry insight and knowledge. Evaluate the practical applications of AI in your business context and in the industry and use your insights to shape organisational transformation.
Social learning is another important component, and you are expected to participate in class and group activities, share drafts of work and resources, and give and receive peer feedback. You will be expected to work efficiently and effectively with others to achieve outcomes greater than those that you might have achieved alone.
Above all, the learning activities are designed to maximise the likelihood that you will not only understand the course learning resources but also apply that learning to improving your own practice, for example, by producing real-world business artifacts and engaging in scenarios and case studies.
