New CAS ETH in AI and Software Development

Organisations are changing rapidly to become more digital. At the centre of this transformation is the use of software and machine learning to generate novel business applications. Increasingly, these involve AI. Managers without any formal training in these areas are being asked to make critical resource allocation and operational decisions related to software and AI that can have significant impacts on corporate competitiveness. The risks and rewards of this decision making have never been higher. This is where the CAS in AI and Software Development comes in.

How the CAS AIS can help to make the correct decisions for your company

The aim of this programme is to improve the decision-making of managers by providing them with fundamental training in machine learning, AI and software development that is applicable across multiple industries and areas of the organisation. Using these technical fundamentals, managers will be able to improve their communication and collaboration skills when working with technical staff and departments. Real world examples are included in the courses to provide a better understanding of technology applications in various industries.

This CAS is a technical computer science program designed to give participants a solid foundation for distinguishing hype from reality in the business world and for continued learning in an area that is likely to change almost every aspect of our lives.

The programme is designed for people who do not have a previous degree in computer science but who need to work professionally with or manage (e.g. project, product and line managers) technical staff and departments. The target audience specifically includes managers with educational backgrounds in economics, finance, marketing, management, and similar non-science majors.
