Executive AI Program
Created jointly by UCI’s School of Social Science,School of Law, and Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences The rise of AI in the past decade has caused businesses to rethink ways of integrating this technology into their corporate strategy. However, most decision makers do not fully understand how AI works, nor fully grasp its unintended consequences. Failure to understand and address questions around fairness, privacy, and bias risks the loss of public trust in AI. Most executive AI programs focus on new technologies. This groundbreaking program is different: it lies at the critical intersection of policy, governance, and technology. Innovative yet practical, this program will strengthen your capacity to lead in AI, including how to mitigate risk without inhibiting innovation. Together with your peers, preeminent UCI faculty, and well- known guest speakers, you will be immersed in the implications of AI for law, society, and policy in this unique online learning experience.
