Apollos DBA in AI, DBA in IT

A strong argument could be made for the purpose of getting such a degree with a specialization in AI if you're looking to be in the upper levels of business in that field. After all, that field and other computer science fields are run as businesses and business professionals and CS professionals would both benefit from the business pros being able to communicate with some CS literacy in addition to running the day-to-day business operations. The same argument has been made for healthcare workers who aren't Doctors and Nurses being given courses in medical literacy so they can better communicate with them.

There aren't many non-technical positions solely focused on managing AI departments. If you're going to move up or move laterally, you're going to be managing other types of CS and IT functions or just general IT functions. That's why they created IT management and engineering management programs. 

Getting a DBA in AI would be like getting a Doctor of Healthcare Administration with a concentration in Oncology. It's not necessary to oversee cancer departments, and you may want to manage something other than cancer departments someday. Not that there would be anything wrong with getting that degree because a DHA is still a DHA, but I wouldn't pass up an equally priced RA degree just because it's broader. 

If someone is interested in a technical position, I wouldn't recommend this degree at all. I think I only saw five CIS courses in the curriculum.
