‘AI for Leaders’ Video Library
The AI for Leaders online MS in Data Science (OMDS) course series provides learners with a practical understanding of AI’s real-world impact across industries. A key component of the program is a required module that brings together practitioners from diverse fields for a dynamic, live-streamed discussion where students can engage directly and ask questions. Topics explored in the series include integrating AI into business strategy, navigating ethical and regulatory challenges, explaining AI-driven decisions to stakeholders, emerging AI technologies and their implications, and foundational concepts of bias, fairness, and privacy—including frameworks like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and AI-driven personalization.
These conversations also contribute to the AI for Leaders video library, an expanding resource designed to equip professionals with the knowledge to navigate AI’s evolving role in business and society. The library offers insights for both technical and non-technical audiences, covering essential topics such as strategic AI adoption, ethical considerations, and the latest advancements shaping the future of AI-powered decision-making.
