Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how companies deliver value to their customers. In some industries, entirely new business models are emerging as a result. Used effectively and responsibly, AI has the potential to tackle some of the greatest challenges facing our organizations, our communities, and our planet. If you are excited by the present and future of AI but are lacking a robust strategy to implement this dynamic technology, we encourage you to save your seat in the new AI Executive Academy.

An exciting collaboration between MIT's Sloan School of Management and Schwarzman College of Computing, this immersive, two-week program on campus dives deep into both the technical and business aspects of artificial intelligence, providing a comprehensive understanding of AI's impact across industries. The program will bridge the gap between AI technology and business leadership through practical, hands-on learning experiences, ensuring participants can apply AI strategies effectively in their organizations. 

Course content will cover recent developments in AI and cutting-edge research insights to help make sense of emerging opportunities and challenges. Industry spotlights will demonstrate practical applications of AI, such as generative AI tools (GenAI), and discussions among expert panelists will include the potential of AI in the near future—as well as the limitations and weaknesses of this technology.

As a participant in this course, you will also benefit from hands-on workshops to innovate, experiment, and problem-solve with AI. You will leave the course with a better understanding of the potential of AI in business and society as well as practical skills to make these insights actionable in your organization.

The AI Executive Academy will bring together world-renowned faculty and thought leaders from across MIT to create a unique and inspiring learning experience at the true intersection of management and technology. The program is also an opportunity for executives to engage with global peers and industry experts—connections that can lead to valuable insights and future collaborations.

Participants who complete this program will earn an MIT Sloan Executive Certificate in Digital Business and 10 Executive Education credits (10 EEUs), which can be applied toward an Advanced Certificate for Executives (ACE).

Participants will leave this course with:

• A more sophisticated understanding of the breadth and depth of AI, including its ethical and social dimensions
• Practical strategies for leveraging AI in their organization
• New frameworks for analyzing and evaluating the impact of AI on their business/industry
• The ability to navigate AI challenges, seize opportunities, and create new value for the long term
