Artificial Intelligence for Business and Society

Artificial Intelligence system is a machine that demonstrates several human like cognitive capabilities – a technology that has gained huge prominence due to the several technological breakthroughs over the last decade. The course will provide a clear definition of what comprises AI along with understanding of the key technological breakthroughs leading to its recent prominence. The course will then explore India’s official strategy for Artificial Intelligence in-terms of its economic implications, as well as impact on work, skills and education, especially in comparison to other countries. The positioning of India’s AI strategy on economic growth, eradicating poverty and managing rapid urbanization will be discussed through multiple use cases to illustrate the potential and challenges of AI from the perspective of public policy. Expanded use of AI systems raises several important issues, such as transparency, accountability, bias, governance, and ethics. These key issues will be discussed in the course along with introduction to debates on the evolving regulatory and policy frameworks for dealing with these issues.

Climate Change and Business

The course will introduce the students to the salience of climate change on business in three dimensions. First, students will learn about changes in physical risks and hazards as a consequence of climate change. Second, the course will focus on institutional dimensions of the human response to climate change, with a focus on regulatory mandates for reducing carbon emissions. Finally, we will focus on new opportunities - both technological and financial - for business that are intended to usher in the new low-carbon economy. Instead of moving sequentially through these three dimensions, the sessions are designed to consider all three simultaneously, in order to better understand the impact of change change on business. By the end of the course, students should expect to gain enough knowledge about these issues to be able to identify threats and opportunities arising from climate change in economic sectors of their interest.

Infrastructure and the Private Sector

Investment in infrastructure is necessary for growth. However, because of the fiscal resource crunch, time and cost over-runs, and the general poor quality of publicly provided infrastructure, governments, the world over, have invited the private sector to take on infrastructure provisioning responsibilities. Private provision of public services has taken the form, most often, of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in infrastructure. The course aims at providing participants with a clear understanding of infrastructure challenges, how PPPs can help, and their use in practice. To internalize the concepts, participants would be expected to analyze and make presentations on assigned case studies.
