MSc Primenjena veštačka inteligencija i analitika podataka

The world is more data-driven than ever, and while specialist analytical, digital, data science and artificial intelligence skills are in high demand, the supply is still very limited. There is a lack of experts in data science and artificial intelligence and this lack of expertise means that, currently, only a few companies can exploit the full potential of their data sets and transform the same into a competitive advantage.
