COURSES
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a discipline whose goal is to realize this dream through the use of a wide variety of techniques, from logic-based symbolic computation to sub-symbolic models inspired by the structure of the brain, such as neural networks. This course will provide an introductory overview of the various existing artificial intelligence techniques, focusing on industrial applications, discussing future challenges and opportunities, and also addressing some of the social, economic, and ethical implications.
Digital Marketing and CommunicationData Science and Business Analytics
Artificial Intelligence and Innovation Management
Finance and Artificial Intelligence
Analytics and AI for Marketing
The course provides a general introduction to digital culture, focusing in particular on the following topics:
- Principles related to automatic data processing: birth of the concept of algorithm and studies related to its limits.
- Application of the concepts of modeling and algorithmic processing in the context of business processes.
- The rise of Artificial Intelligence, from Turing’s imitation game to Industry 4.0.
The course includes 3 half-day meetings and it deals with crucial topics for today’s businesses: the first meeting aims at introducing the concept of Digital Transformation and at illustrating the current scenario; the second meeting focuses more specifically on Industry 4.0 and its features; whilst the final meeting revolves around Cybersecurity.
Technology and InnovationThe course will provide an introductory overview of the various existing AI techniques, putting them into an historical context
which is essential to understand how we arrived to the recent sensational exploit of AI applications and what can we expect from the near future. We will discuss industrial applications with their opportunities and challenges, touching also on some social, economic and ethic implications which will be deepened in other courses. A specific focus will be on the interaction between AI and robotics, given the relevance of artificial intelligence applications for manufacturing and industrial automation.
