In the recent past, the fields of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) have attracted a lot of attention from both academia and industry. Together, they have started to change our business landscape and provide more opportunities for companies to implement innovative business models. Companies such as Alibaba, Google and Facebook have invested heavily on incorporating AI and big data within their business models to create, deliver and capture value.
This inaugural masterclass in the NUBS Malaysia Masterclass Series provides an overview of the applications of big data and AI in business together with the sharing of recent research in the area by academicians at the University of Nottingham, to demonstrate how businesses can take advantage of big data and AI in value creation.
