Original answer

Yes — there are many AI courses and executive programs specifically focused on business applications (strategy, product, operations, transformation, ethics and governance, change management, and how to lead AI projects). Below are several high-quality, business-focused options (mix of short courses, executive programs, and online nanodegrees), with what they cover and quick practical details so you can pick what fits you.

Top options (short descriptions + practical details)

  • AI Essentials for Business — Harvard Business School Online

    • Focus: how AI/ML and generative AI affect business strategy, operating models, risk/ethics, and how to lead AI initiatives. Designed for managers and leaders (non-technical emphasis).
    • Format / length / cost: ~4 weeks, 5–7 hours/week; certificate; paid. (online.hbs.edu)
  • Artificial Intelligence: Implications for Business Strategy — MIT Sloan / CSAIL (executive program)

    • Focus: managerial and organizational implications of ML, NLP, generative AI and robotics; includes a business-focused project and strategy guidance for adoption. Good for senior leaders and product/strategy teams.
    • Format / length / cost: ~6 weeks, 6–8 hours/week; self‑paced and scheduled cohorts; certificate; executive tuition. (executive.mit.edu)
  • AI For Everyone — Coursera (Andrew Ng / DeepLearning.AI)

    • Focus: non-technical overview for business leaders and product teams — what AI can/can’t do, how to structure AI projects, and how to work with technical teams. Very beginner friendly and low time commitment.
    • Format / length / cost: short (5–6 hours), self-paced, certificate available (Coursera). (Coursera.org)
  • Generative AI for Everyone — DeepLearning.AI / Coursera

    • Focus: practical generative-AI concepts, common business use cases, limitations, and how to run projects using generative models (prompting, product lifecycle). Good complement for teams adopting generative tools.
    • Format / length / cost: short, self-paced. (Coursera.org)
  • AI For Business Leaders — Udacity (Nanodegree)

    • Focus: ML fluency for leaders, AI strategy, product storyboarding, embedding AI in operations, ethics — project-based with mentor feedback. Good if you want applied projects and career support.
    • Format / length / cost: Nanodegree subscription (project-based), flexible length; Udacity offers certificates. (Course listing and syllabus). (Udacity.com)

Other program types and providers to consider

  • Executive education from top business schools (INSEAD, London Business School, Wharton, NYU Stern, etc.) — these often run short immersive executive programs focused on AI strategy and leadership (check each school’s executive education catalog). (Executive programs have frequent updates to match industry developments). (ft.com)
  • Vendor/industry courses (Microsoft, Google Cloud, IBM): good if you need hands-on work with particular cloud AI tools and platforms.
  • University certificate programs and professional certificates (Coursera, edX, etc.) that bundle several business + technical courses if you want deeper capability-building.

How to choose (quick checklist)

  • Your role/goal: leader/strategy vs. product manager vs. practitioner vs. technical implementer. Leaders should prioritize strategy/executive programs (MIT Sloan, HBS Online); product managers benefit from Udacity and DeepLearning.AI courses; practitioners might need cloud vendor or technical certificates.
  • Time and budget: short Coursera/DeepLearning.AI courses are low-cost and fast; executive programs cost more but give networking and tailored strategy instruction.
  • Desired outcome: certificate vs. hands-on projects vs. strategy playbook. If you need a plan you can implement, pick programs that include a business-project or capstone.
  • Industry relevance: prefer programs that include case studies or modules close to your industry (finance, healthcare, retail, etc.).

If you want, I can:

  • Filter recommendations by your role (executive, PM, marketer, analyst) and budget, or
  • Find programs with upcoming start dates and current tuition/options (I can look up exact next start dates and current prices).
