Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is transforming the way the world does business. Estimates put global revenue from AI at $900 billion by 2026, and a recent survey found that 91.7 percent of top organizations are investing in AI activities. And yet, another survey found that many business owners are anxious about the technical abilities needed to use AI efficiently.

All this means it’s a great time to turbocharge your career by embracing the potential of AI and equipping yourself to not just survive but thrive in the new paradigm. This fall, the University of Denver’s University College is launching two new program concentrations designed to build your AI literacy and give you a deeper understanding of AI’s strategic potential.

The new online master’s degree concentrations and graduate certificate programs, AI Strategy and Application in IT and AI Strategy and Application in Communication, equip future leaders to harness these capabilities to meet business goals. You’ll discover how AI can help automate processes, analyze data to make predictions, meet customer service needs, and create useful content.

The concentrations are designed to build your proficiency in AI strategy even if you don’t have a technical background. You’ll learn AI’s current capabilities and applications—and about how to avoid pitfalls (logistical, ethical, and regulatory) associated with these new technologies. You’ll gain the skills to assess the strategic potential of AI tools and develop techniques for using AI effectively.

Most importantly, you’ll gain hands-on practice in applying AI solutions to real-world challenges. You’ll be positioned to lead AI initiatives, able to communicate with both technical teams and business leaders about how best to leverage AI strategically.

With online courses, industry expert instructors, and a focus on career relevancy, University College makes sense for those who want an immediate return on their educational investment.

The future of AI is now and there’s no time to lose. Contact Michael.Lutito@DU.edu to learn more about the AI in IT program, and Brian.Cicero@DU.edu to explore the AI in Communication program.
