AI Bootcamps provide emotional satisfaction but no real AI knowledge.
SIAI’s AI MBA (Business & Tech Tracks) offers real AI project exposure and strategic thinking.
Basic software engineers will be obsolete by 2035, replaced by AI and offshore talent
After launching AI MBA's business track, we sometimes have questions about the value of the track. Most people, particularly, engineers think that's just a waste of time. Some of them even claim that AI Bootcamp is the better option, as it costs less money.
Over the past few years, there has been a growing trend of STEM MBAs—business programs that integrate basic AI, analytics, and coding to appeal to professionals interested in tech-driven industries. While these programs may sound promising, in reality, most STEM MBAs provide little more than bootcamp-level technical training, leaving graduates with surface-level AI knowledge and little ability to differentiate real AI innovation from hype.
Unlike typical AI bootcamps, SIAI offers in-depth AI education with a strong foundation in mathematics, statistics, and real-world business applications.
The MSc AI/Data Science program at SIAI emphasizes rigorous scientific studies, ensuring students master the theoretical and practical aspects of AI.
SIAI’s MBA AI programs incorporate extensive business case studies, with a new MBA AI/Finance track focusing on corporate finance and financial investments.
