This course will explore various topics around technology innovation and entrepreneurship. Topics will vary by semester.

AI, machine learning and Big Data are well understood technologies, yet their applications in business are dominated by a small group of uber-practitioners, as exemplified by Amazon, Google and OpenAI. What do these companies know – and practice – that others do not? The Amazoogle class is an introduction into the strategy and technology of data-driven business models in the age of AI. Beyond its application in well-known business sectors, the Amazoogle model also brings particular impacts in technology ethics and sustainability. Students in the class will learn the practices in building data-driven, AI-centric business models that strive to provide positive impact, both on the bottom line and in society.
