Catalog description

Intelligent Automation has been a main theme of business change in the modern era and will likely continue to be so. There are two major components to Intelligent Automation: Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). While the focus of RPA is the automation of physical tasks, the focus of AI is the automation of cognitive tasks. Both of these forces will fundamentally change the way labor markets evolve. Students will learn about the latest trends in automation and develop a framework for understanding how these forces will affect labor markets.
