Artificial Intelligence in the 4IR introduces you to artificial intelligence (AI), its applications, and its implications for society and the future of work in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).

The disruptive and profound effect of AI and automation on the world of work is set to intensify in the coming years. Those who are most prepared for the future will be best prepared for change, and best situated to lead change. Artificial Intelligence in the 4IR encourages you to reflect on your role in a world that is being transformed by AI-driven technologies.

Artificial Intelligence in the 4IR has no cost implications for students.

All assessments are in the form of multiple choice questions (MCQs). In order to proceed from one activity to the next, students are required to obtain at least 50%. An overall mark of 50% is required to pass the programme.
