About the programme

AI is no longer a technology problem but a leadership opportunity. Both current and future global leaders who are, or aspire to be, involved in the application, management or governance of AI, should focus on evolving their leadership approach to maintain an advantage in the digital age. Failure to stay ahead of the curve could mean your organisation is left behind. 

The Oxford Executive Diploma in AI for Business combines the highest standards of academic rigour with a practical approach to leadership in the age of AI. Central to the design of the Oxford Executive Diplomas is the dual focus on the academic theory (and 'thinking') behind current organisational and global challenges, and the practical approaches ('doing') through which to successfully navigate them. Led by Kejia Hu and Siddharth Arora, the Oxford Executive Diploma in Artificial Intelligence for Business offers a specialist focus on four core modules pertinent to the rapid rise and application of AI in an organisational context.
​
This immersive and interactive programme is built on the academic rigour of a specialised Oxford master's-level qualification, comprising of four modules taught in Oxford over one year:
1. The landscape of technological disruption
2. The business of big data and machine learning
3. AI in practice
4. Strategic leadership in the age of AI
