Course Overview
This on-campus certificate program provides a deep dive into artificial intelligence and automation as well as opportunities for their use by hospitality organizations. The business of hospitality is increasingly data rich, yet this data comes from a variety of sources which need to be updated on a regular basis. In addition, archival data exists on third-party platforms and other transactional systems — often behind user logins. Combine these factors with a tight labor force of increasing costs, and we find ourselves seeking to capitalize on AI and automation to integrate processes, generate insight from data, and make data-informed decisions. With a focus on streamlining tasks and automating data-driven decision making, this course provides an overview of machine learning, AI, and automation, highlighting their key differences as well as their opportunities through use cases. We will be joined by industry speakers who bring firsthand experience with today's deployment of these invaluable tools.
