Apollos DBA in AI, DBA in IT

[eLearner]

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.

Nope, I quite disagree. The university is clearly offering DBA with AI just for a gimmick. I never see bonafide university offering DBA with AI, because it is just not possible.

I totally disagree with calling it a "gimmick". It's needlessly accusatory of their intentions. Also, "bonafide" in this context is subjective, but there are respected Universities offering DBA's with CS specializations internationally like Rennes School of Business in France that actually offers a DBA with a specialization in Data Science which includes AI training, and one DBA candidate from the International University of Monaco did her research on AI and garnered awards for it. Domestically, the University of Rhode Island's DBA program includes some AI training. Ultimately, in time, the market will decide on its usefulness and determine how far it spreads.

As for it not being "possible", it's clearly possible since it's being done.
