Artificial intelligence (AI) uses computers and technology to achieve the outcomes of human problem-solving and decision-making abilities. It comprises methods to solve easy problems for humans but hard for digital computers, such as Natural Language Understanding, Natural Language Generation, and Image Understanding.

The AI Graduate Certificate from NJIT teaches students how to use AI to solve real-world problems and design and deploy AI solutions for large-scale systems and applications. The curriculum balances theoretical concepts and practical knowledge applied to real-life AI systems and processes.

This program is suitable for many people with a quantitative background or experience dealing with data who would like to obtain some grounding in artificial intelligence. Examples include software engineers who want to complement their programming skills with Machine Learning and Deep Learning modeling skills, pharmaceutical data analysts who explore the transition from traditional statistical analytics to contemporary deep learning models, and many more.
