The Master in Applied Artificial Intelligence provides knowledge and skills for the design and development of solutions based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the most relevant sectors, with a clear professional orientation for a sector with a very high demand professionals in these technologies.
In the last decade, Artificial Intelligence has promoted innovation in practically all economic sectors. Today, using AI techniques is becoming essential in all business areas as they bring opportunities to improve the performance of traditional techniques and processes, which implies, among other things, improving the quality of services and processes.
The objective of the program is training professionals to understand the most relevant existing Artificial Intelligence methods and techniques and apply them to develop appropriate solutions to the different types of problems they may face. It seeks to provide graduates with an integrative vision of Artificial Intelligence, knowing in detail the main paradigms such as Machine Learning or Representation and Search, taking into consideration the most relevant applied techniques and emphasizing the relevant applications that will be found.
The configuration of the study plan emphasizes elective subjects among a broad program, so that the student selects those ones which fit better with her/his own interests and previous knowledge.
