THE STUDENT WILL BE GUIDED ON HOW AI IS TRANSFORMING BUSINESS COGNITIVE AND OPERATIONAL PROCESSES AND MODELS, DEEPENING THE LOGICS OF MACHINE LEARNING, THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA AND THEIR USE TO MAKE STRATEGIC DECISIONS. THE COURSE IS ENRICHED WITH CASE STUDY ANALYSIS AND PROJECT WORK. 1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ABILITY STUDENTS WILL ACQUIRE THE CONCEPTUAL TOOLS TO UNDERSTAND AND MANAGE THE MAIN PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE USE OF AI IN VIEW OF THE DYNAMICS OF HIGHLY UNSTABLE GLOBAL SCENARIOS SUBJECT TO SUDDEN CHANGES. 2. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING STUDENTS WILL BE GUIDED TOWARDS A CRITICAL STUDY OF THE USE OF AI AS A COMPLEMENTARY, NOT SUBSTITUTE, INTELLIGENCE. IN THIS SENSE, THE COURSE WILL BE DIRECTED TOWARDS THE TRAINING OF COGNITIVE SKILLS AIMED AT INTERPRETING EVOLUTIONARY CONTEXTS AND DETERMINING THE CONDITIONS THAT FAVOR THE MAKING OF STRATEGIC AND OPERATIONAL DECISIONS.

THIS TEST IS COMPOSED OF 20 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS AND 2 OPEN-ANSWER QUESTIONS; EACH MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION HAS A VALUE OF 1 WHILE THE OPEN-CHOICE QUESTION HAS A VALUE OF 2 POINTS. AS THESE ARE MULTIPLE-CHOICE ANSWERS, IT IS ENOUGH TO INDICATE ONE, CROSSING THE ONE THAT YOU BELIEVE TO BE EXACT BASED ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE. THE SECOND PART IS DEDICATED TO TWO OPEN-CHOICE ANSWERS, FOCUSED ON THE TOPICS OF BUSINESSES AND EVOLUTIONARY DYNAMICS. THE QUESTIONS ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE RESOLVED DURING CLASS HOURS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE WRITTEN TEST IS TO VERIFY THE OVERALL KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEVELOPED PROGRAM. ORAL EXAM THE ORAL EXAM, COMMON FOR STUDENTS AND NON-STUDENTS, HAS A DURATION OF APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES AND CONSISTS OF AN INTERVIEW, WITH QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION THAT AIM TO DEEPEN THE VERIFICATION OF LEARNING.
