UNDERSTAND AI AND APPLY IT RESPONSIBLY IN YOUR ORGANISATION
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly evolving from an experimental technology into a defining force in how organisations operate. AI is transforming decision-making, service delivery, and collaboration between humans and technology. From algorithms supporting policy decisions to AI agents performing tasks autonomously, its impact is visible across nearly every sector.
For professionals, understanding AI is no longer optional. Alongside opportunities, new questions arise regarding reliability, governance, ethics, sustainability, and societal impact. This programme helps you not only understand AI from a technological perspective, but also apply it strategically and responsibly within your organisation.
You will develop a broad perspective on AI as a socio-technical challenge. You will learn how technology, human behaviour, organisational processes, and policy interact in the implementation of AI. This enables you to make well-informed decisions and guide the responsible adoption of AI in your professional context.
What do you learn?
In this intensive three-day programme, you will gain insight into key developments in big data, machine learning, and Large Language Models. You will explore how AI and autonomous systems are reshaping organisations and what decisions this requires from leaders and professionals.
You will work with real-world examples and scenarios that illustrate how AI is changing ways of working. Throughout the programme, the focus is on how AI can enhance the performance of people and organisations, while carefully addressing potential risks.
