Watch Steve Jobs' old video predicting a ChatGPT-like tool in the 1980s. Explore role-play prompts and the idea of encoding Aristotle's worldview in a computer.
Explore the distinction between strong AI and current AI, and how machine learning and deep learning power generative AI like ChatGPT, via pattern recognition and domain knowledge.
Differentiate AI agents from agentic AI, noting agents handle narrow tasks while agentic AI coordinates multiple capabilities toward multi-step goals with persistent memory and adaptive reasoning.
AI has moved faster than leaders, creating a permission problem rather than a capability issue. Align organizational speed with AI power to enable autonomous execution from coding to data analysis.
AI outpaces capability, but permission bottlenecks and slow approvals stall value; shift to an AI-first, problem-oriented organization with minimal approvals to accelerate decision making.
Understand why AI policies fail to change behavior and how to close the governance gap by embedding clear use cases, ownership, and measurable controls into workflows and systems.
Governance fails in execution across the AI lifecycle, not in policy. Implement end-to-end controls at each stage—idea, data, model, deployment, and monitoring—to manage risk.
Assess your organization's AI governance maturity from ad hoc to optimized, establish ownership, lifecycle controls, and data and model governance, and use ISO 42001 thinking to scale responsibly.
Explore variance analysis to compare actual performance with budgets, forecasts, or prior periods, decompose into price, volume, and mix, and build a product line and country variance dashboard with tables.
Explore a performance management redesign using an HR plug-in, replacing forced bell-curve rankings with continuous feedback, a 100-point scorecard, and coaching-led, behavior- and results-driven reviews.
Explore vibe coding as a paradigm shift that enables non-coders to build apps with AI tools, while addressing production risks, responsible practices, and the rising wave of WIP coding.
Build a data-driven control chart app using lovable, an AI powered vibe coding platform, that generates charts, computes mean and upper and lower control limits, and flags outliers in red.
Build a sentiment analysis app that classifies customer comments into positive, negative, or neutral from a CSV. Visualize results with a pie chart and download options in a vibe-coding workflow.
Build a time series forecasting app with vibe coding and adaptive AI to generate forecasts from historical data, enabling demand planning, sales forecasting, and budgeting for healthcare and manufacturing.

Welcome to the program on AI for CxO's and Sr. Managers.
Everywhere you look, from global headlines to bustling startups, the impact of AI and Machine Learning is undeniable. Especially after the buzz surrounding revolutionary advancements like ChatGPT, there's no longer any doubt: we're in the age of AI.
Ever felt overwhelmed by the storm of terminologies like Large Language Models (LLM), Machine Learning, Generative AI, Transformers, or Strong vs. Weak AI? Or felt that gnawing concern that your competitors might be leveraging AI in ways you haven’t tapped into yet? This course is the remedy to your FOMO (fear of missing out).
Dive in with us to:
Understand the three waves of AI - Predictive, Generative, and Agentic AI - and why leaders must understand their differences, capabilities, and risks.
Distinguish between AI Agents and Agentic AI, and explore how AI is moving from answering questions to autonomously executing tasks and workflows.
Get a tech-light refresher of core AI concepts relevant for leaders, including machine learning, deep learning, LLMs, transformers, RAG, and explainable AI.
Understand the growing challenges of a multi-LLM enterprise world, where teams use different AI models with varying behaviors, costs, risks, and outputs.
Explore how machine learning inside Excel, powered by Claude, is changing business analysis, forecasting, anomaly detection, and executive reporting.
Learn how AI is accelerating decision-making at scale, and why governance, accountability, and AI risk management are becoming boardroom priorities.
Discuss the hidden risks of AI including bias, hallucinations, privacy concerns, invisible decision risks, and governance gaps as AI adoption explodes across organizations.
Explore the rise of vibe coding, where business users can rapidly build applications, automations, and workflows using natural language instead of traditional coding approaches.
Discover how leaders can use AI for fraud detection, demand planning, anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, customer experience, and operational intelligence through practical business case studies.
Access additional Optional Learning Modules covering AI Foundations, Advanced AI Concepts, Explainabale AI and AutoML with Power BI for participants who want to deepen their technical understanding further.
But that's not all:
The technical content is meticulously curated to be as non-technical as possible, making it accessible to leaders from all backgrounds.
The course is led by an industry stalwart who has managed Technology, Operations and Strategy in large MNCs and nimble startups. He is the Founder and CEO of an AI startup (SeaportAi).
Recognizing the dynamic nature of AI, this course remains a live document. Continuously updated to keep stride with AI’s swift-paced advancements, it has successfully run for over 2 years, boasting nearly 11k enthused learners.
Equip yourself with the knowledge that could redefine your strategic direction. Stay not just relevant, but pioneering, in today's rapidly evolving tech landscape. Join us, and be the AI-savvy leader your organization needs.
