AI and Generative AI for Leaders: Empowering Digital Transformation and Strategic Decision Making
This course is a paid course from University of Edinburgh, online. It costs £2,497. It ends with a badge. Next intake not announced. We rate it intermediate level; the provider doesn't say.
Suits senior managers and executives who need a strategic and legal view of AI rather than technical skills. What stands out is the mix of faculty, including the Law School on regulation and intellectual property, and a University of Edinburgh digital badge on completion. The main caveat is that no dates are set for the next cohort and the £2,497 fee is listed on one page while another shows fees as TBC. A free, shorter starting point is AI Leadership from OpenAI Academy.
