Course experience
Through an engaging mix of introductions to key technologies, business insights, case examples, and your own business-focused project, your learning journey will bring into sharp focus the reality of central AI technologies today and how they can be harnessed to support your business needs.
Focusing on key AI technologies, such as machine learning, natural language processing, generative AI, and robotics, the course will help you understand the implications of these new technologies for business strategy, as well as the economic and societal issues they raise. MIT expert instructors examine how artificial intelligence will complement and strengthen our workforce rather than just eliminate jobs. Additionally, the program will emphasize how the collective intelligence of people and computers together can solve business problems that not long ago were considered impossible.

This 6-week online program presents you with a foundational understanding of where we are today with AI and how we got here. The focus is on three key AI technologies: machine learning, natural language processing, generative AI, and robotics. You’ll gain a practical introduction to these key AI technologies and their business implications, equipping you with the knowledge and the confidence you need to transform your organization by converting uncertainties regarding AI into impactful opportunities for business growth. Our curriculum has recently been refreshed to include the most modern and in-demand AI skills that allows our learners to meet growing demand for AI professionals.
The program does not assume any particular technological background – you’ll focus on the organizational and managerial implications of these technologies and how they can be applied in the workplace, rather than on their technical dimensions. A key element of the course will be an individual project where you develop a plan for how AI could be used in your own organization or some other business context of your choice.
