Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative force reshaping and redefining the landscape of connected products and services. AI enables more efficient data processing and seamless information exchange, fostering the ability to learn from past interactions, anticipate human behaviour, and continuously improve their functionalities and decision-making processes.
The Advanced Course in Designing AI Connected Ecosystems is tailored for professionals who want to explore the endless possibilities of connected products/service ecosystems infused by AI.
The Advanced Course structure is organised in two modules. Each module includes one theoretical course and one core workshop.
After successfully completing the Advanced Course in AI Connected Ecosystems, and additionally being recognised with 24 CFA/ECTS (for accredited path), students may have the opportunity to further proceed their studies by enrolling in the Academic Master’s Programme in Interaction Design.
ECTS credits might be validated at the option of the chosen University of reference in case of a transfer’s request to a postgraduate programme.
Dates: 10 Sept 2024 – 24 Jan 2025 or 27 Jan – 23 May 2025
