The idea of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been early proposed since the 1940s; yet, it cannot be effectively used in human life because of the computing and storage capabilities of information technology. However, in recent years, due to the tremendous enhancement of hardware computing, storage technology, and network capabilities, AI is able to start to run a lot in our life, and deeply affect the human work style, learning education, and management. In the current AI curriculum design, most of talks are with respect to AI’s technical algorithms; nevertheless, in the management curriculum planning, there are few or even no courses to explore how to help managers to face this wave of AI. Mangers should further handle AI effectively by understanding and analyzing it and employ AI to innovate business models.
The design of this course is carried out in the following four ways. First, we are going to assist our students to learn more about the related technologies and algorithms of AI (machine learning). Second, we will discuss AI based on its basic technical knowledge. How to use the ability of AI to manage and innovate enterprises and industries, and employ the project management methodology to explore how to introduce AI into enterprises. Third, we will discuss AI on social issues, laws, ethics, and the influence of philosophy. Ultimately, we are going to investigate together and report on AI-related paper studies.
