Overview
The curriculum at Northeastern University incorporates elements of data science, robotics, and machine learning—enabling you to pursue a holistic and interdisciplinary course of study while preparing for a position in AI research, operations, software, or hardware development, or a doctoral degree in a sector poised for explosive growth.
A recent survey of IT executives found that while only 4% of organizations have begun to invest and deploy AI initiatives, 46% have plans to do so in the near future. The same survey identifies two challenges in the adoption of artificial intelligence: the availability of skilled and experienced staff, and the lack of IT and business understanding of AI’s potential. All of which means investing in a graduate education in AI today will pay big dividends tomorrow.
The Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence at Khoury College prepares professionals for leadership roles in this emerging area of the technological landscape, educating students in the creation and administration of AI systems that can reason and respond to complex realities—systems that will revolutionize the 21st century workplace through seamless integration of human and AI capabilities.
