Content
In this unit, you will learn of AI principles to support cutting edge innovations and develop skills in forming appropriate strategies to support AI implementation. This unit will develop your skills in defining an AI strategy for specific business and industries by evaluating how organisations across industries are using and can use key contemporary AI technologies (e.g., machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing) AI types (e.g., generative AI, conversational AI, algorithmic AI, emotion AI, robotic AI), and sustainability issues of AI. We will learn of ways to address existing challenges related to AI implementation and identify organisational benefits and risks associated with the introduction of AI.

Learning resource
The texts and reading list for MIS716 can be found via the University Library.
Note: Select the relevant trimester reading list. Please note that a future teaching period's reading list may not be available until a month prior to the start of that teaching period so you may wish to use the relevant trimester's prior year reading list as a guide only.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
To fully engage with Deakin's learning experiences, students must be able to access and use internet-connected devices as outlined in computing requirements at Deakin.
To support student success at Deakin, we have a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) learning environment that acknowledges that students and educators bring with them the digital tools they regularly use to complete academic tasks. These tools stay with you beyond the classroom, helping you to keep learning, explore ideas more deeply, and connect with knowledge in ways that matter to you.
