We live in a world in which change is driven by new technologies, and at the heart of this is Artificial Intelligence (AI).
AI, predictive analytics and other digital disruptions are transforming business models, processes and customer relationships across every industry. Organisations increasingly find themselves confronting moments of existential change. In this landscape of digital disruption, leaders need both the understanding and the tools to integrate AI into their overall strategy.
This new programme combines cutting-edge academic learning with practical, front-line knowledge about the impact of AI. With like-minded, global professionals and university researchers, you will learn how to lead in the development, implementation and running of AI systems. This will give you the confidence to not only cut through the ‘spin’ but also drive long-term value creation and career progression.
This immersive, interactive programme is built on the academic rigour of a specialised Oxford masters-level qualification, in a format designed to suit busy working executives. The diploma consists of four modules in Oxford, over one year.
