Artificial Intelligence: Implications for Business Strategy

Our recommendation
An executive-education programme from the MIT Sloan School of Management and MIT CSAIL, delivered on edX. Over six weeks (about 6–8 hours per week) it gives managers and executives a strategic grounding in machine learning, NLP, generative AI and robotics — and how to integrate them into business strategy. Deliberately strategic, not technical: no coding. It is a premium, paid programme, not a free MOOC.
Good for: Managers and executives wanting AI strategy from a top business school.
Less suitable if: You want technical/hands-on AI skills, or a free or low-cost course.
