The article highlighted how Indian enterprises are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and how SMU’s Master of IT in Business (MITB) programme equips professionals with essential skills to leverage AI for strategic innovation. Through two distinct yet complementary specialisation tracks namely Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Transformation (DT), SMU is shaping future-ready leaders that are intelligent innovators who harness AI for amplification, and agile changemakers who drive digital execution. Kelvin Lee, Senior Digital Transformation Instructor and Practicum Manager shared that the curriculum covers strategy, change management, agile methods, and digital sustainability, while shaping the right mindset. Dr James Koh, Principal Data Science Instructor and AI Practicum Manager, added that students gain hands-on experience from foundational Python and machine learning to advanced topics like generative AI, computer vision, and reinforcement learning – enabling them to turn data into real-world impact. Launched in 2018, SMU’s AI specialisation was the first of its kind in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
