Developed in response to the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on organizational processes globally, the Honours Bachelor of Artificial Intelligence program will teach you skills, tools, and techniques to design AI solutions.
A comprehensive mix of courses focuses on technical theory, along with topics such as legal, social and corporate responsibility. This learning, combined with a field placement and capstone project, will ensure you graduate with project management, critical thinking and analytical skills.
Program Details
Thanks to a strong foundation in computer science, mathematics, and statistics to ensure the effective use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning algorithms, techniques, and tools, you will be able to solve complex real-world problems and deliver measurable organizational value as an integral member of a cross-functional team, designing and developing advanced AI-driven solutions.
PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Evaluate data requirements and technical approaches for building an AI solution by using systems analysis to align to business and client concerns.
- Analyze and evaluate the nature and quality of input data to prepare data for selected machine learning algorithms.
- Build machine learning models by evaluating input data and identifying features that meet the needs of the project.
- Evaluate technical performance metrics, feasibility, legal, privacy, security, and explainability requirements for each candidate design to select the socially responsible, best performing, and technically appropriate AI solution for solving a business problem.
- Design and develop simulated environments according to project specifications for testing the effectiveness of machine learning models.
- Evaluate and provide justification for machine learning model outputs by referencing algorithmic explainability and prediction interpretability to ensure transparency and accountability.
- Utilize data visualization techniques and user interaction designs to create communication material for AI solutions, products, and user experiences for a variety of stakeholders.
- Adhere to ethical frameworks and legal guidelines to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and compliance in the delivery of AI solutions and recommendations.
- Collaborate as part of an interdisciplinary team to coordinate project deliverables by applying professional communication, teambuilding and leadership skills, and project management methodologies, tools, and techniques.
- Develop software systems using modern programming languages, techniques, and tools for deploying on different platforms.
- Develop strategies to pursue continuing education and professional development opportunities to enhance research skills and knowledge and skills in the field.
