Course Description
Business analytics focuses on data and statistical analysis to help analyze and drive recommendations to improve business performance. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven business analytics allow organizations to utilize machine learning (ML) algorithms to identify trends from complex data sets across multiple sources. Business intelligence (BI) help users make sense of their business data. Not only does ML assist in this process, but it also transforms how BI is shared among different departments and optimizes data-driven decision-making. This course aims to engage students and help them realize what AI is and that it’s not scary; it’s something they can learn and implement!
