AI enables businesses to be competitive today and will become a necessity for them to survive in the future. This course introduces the fundamental concepts and problem-solving techniques of AI in business contexts and studies how AI algorithms and models may be used to transform business processes. It covers data-light version of problem-solving approaches such as search, optimization, and constraint satisfaction and emphasizes big data version of automated decision-making, inference-making, and knowledge acquisition, representation, and integration via propositional logic, Bayesian networks, neural networks, fuzzy logic, and evidential theory situated in challenges posed to organizations. This course uses Python programming for exercises.
