The Postgraduate degree in Artificial Intelligence aims to answer the most important questions that the widespread use of technology poses to us, in a fully multidisciplinary program, which includes Medicine, Engineering, Physics, Psychology, Law, Ethics and Biotechnology.

Do you feel prepared to survive and lead in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Do you want to discover how this technological revolution can work in your favor, in your profession and in your life?

We will identify challenges, present tools and envision opportunities, especially with the new Generative AI.

Do you want to learn, for example, what are the best questions (prompts) to ask GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers) to get text, images, code, video, presentations, exactly as you need them? How to manage the stress of the changes you have to deal with? How to perceive and optimize collaboration between people and machines? How to deal with new regulations? How to think about the ethical issues that we face every day?

AI is in our lives and has changed them. It knows everything about us and makes decisions that seem like our own. Work is different, hugs are replaced by “likes”, and life is largely based on smartphones, which now have more technology than was needed to get humanity to the moon.

This duality and coexistence between the emotional human and the omnipresence of AI is the great challenge.

It is up to us, human beings, to develop and apply artificial intelligence to our advantage so that, together, we can go further, better and more fulfilled.

• Identify challenges, present tools and envision opportunities for Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an integral part of the current evolutionary stage of humanity, in this global digital era.
• Understanding the person, as a biopsychosocial being, with limits and emotions and their ability to adapt to new technologies.
• Understanding the language, the bridges between the “programming” of the brain and AI systems, mainly Generative AI (GPT’) and quantum evolution.
• Know the main rules of Law and Ethics and the new European Union AI Regulation.
• Foster innovation and personal fulfillment, envisioning the best possible relationship between humans and technology, especially AI, for the benefit of all.

• Everyone who uses, or would like to use, technology and Artificial Intelligence in their daily lives.
• Managers, lawyers, healthcare professionals, workers linked to commerce, industry, logistics, real estate, human resources, education, as well as anyone interested in preparing for the future.
