About this module:
This module provides technical insights for non-technical leaders. You will gain a working understanding of key AI technologies – from neural networks and generative AI to predictive analytics and reinforcement learning. The module explains how to evaluate AI solutions, collaborate effectively with technical teams, and interpret AI outputs for decision-making. It also covers risks such as system failures and vendor lock-in, while introducing emerging areas like quantum computing and autonomous systems. The goal is to give board members the confidence to oversee AI projects and understand their potential impact on the organization.
