INFS2030: Innovating Business with AI
2027 unit information
Every time you open your social feed, AI is shaping what you see. That AI is also a core part of how those businesses make money. You interact with AI-driven business models every day, even when you don't notice it. AI algorithms and generative AI are creating opportunities that organisations are only beginning to figure out. Successful business model innovation uses technologies in ways that create lasting advantage. You will work with real business cases to understand how organisations innovate using AI and digital platforms. That means learning to map out a business model, identify where digital technology creates value, and determine whether an AI-driven opportunity is worth the investment. You will look at how social media platforms and online businesses create value, and how organisations are experimenting with generative AI to create entirely new products and services. Every few years, a new technology reshapes how businesses operate - the Internet, mobile, social media, AI, or what comes next. But the ability to analyse a business model, spot where technology creates value, and evaluate whether an innovation is worth pursuing stays relevant regardless of what the technology is. This unit gives you tools and skills that last.
