Schools Line Up AI, Machine-Learning Courses for Executives

Some of the nation's top schools, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Georgetown University, are offering educational programs for nontechnical senior managers looking to learn more about artificial intelligence and its business applications. These programs are designed to be crash courses in AI, covering machine learning, robotics and other topics. They can vary in duration and delivery--some are multiweek online offerings, others are multiday boot camps--and typically land in the $3,000-a-student range.
