AI for Business Course

Turn AI Buzzwords into Business Strategy

At Georgia Tech, artificial intelligence isn’t just a buzzword—it’s part of our DNA. From AI research to the launch of Tech AI, AI is embedded across the Institute’s programs and innovations. The Scheller College of Business welcomes you to step into the world of AI with AI for Business, a course designed to give you the tools and language to understand and lead in the age of AI. Whether you want to understand how machine learning works or learn what even is a chatbot, this course meets you where you are and gets you where you need to go.

Adopt and Embrace AI Now Rather than Later

Keith McGreggor explains how Scheller’s program equips professionals at any level, in any company, to leverage AI effectively.

“I wanted to learn how AI could be applied within my world of government contracting and economic development. I needed something mentally stimulating, and the course delivered all of that and more. Before, AI felt a bit abstract, but distant. Now, I see it as a collaborative partner. It’s not just about automation; it’s about augmentation. I left the course knowing how to position AI as a tool that enhances human capability, not replaces it.”

– Quierra Coleman Executive Management Assistant, City of Shreveport
