Business Information Technology Management (Artificial Intelligence Operations Management)
Degree:Diploma
Overview:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been called the new electricity. AI and machine learning (ML) systems are currently utilized to organize supply chains, manage customer relationships, transfer organizational knowledge, and optimize enterprise resources. According to estimates, up to 47% of jobs could be automated by AI, robotics, and machine learning systems in the next two decades. Firms have identified that a lack of skilled people makes deploying machine learning capabilities an ongoing challenge. Due to these factors, numerous jobs will become available for managing these systems.
The Business Information Technology Management (BITMAN) – Artificial Intelligence Management (AIM) option will train artificial intelligence/machine learning management knowledge workers for entry-level positions managing AI/ML/business intelligence solutions. This option will focus on AI business models, AI ethics, machine learning for business (supervised learning, neural networks, and deep learning), computer vision, and natural language processing (NLP).
