Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy
DataCamp
Last updated June 30, 2026
A short course on how business, data, and AI strategies fit together — and which comes first. It explains how these strategies combine into a coherent framework for a data-driven organization, and the role an AI strategist plays in driving change that genuinely supports business goals. A key early lesson is telling AI apart from traditional software, so you can judge whether AI is even the right tool for a given problem. From there it covers setting realistic goals, defining the metrics that mark success, weighing whether a project justifies its investment, and the components needed to scale AI across an organization. It is conceptual, with no coding or data-science background required. You can sample the opening chapter before subscribing; the full course and its Statement of Accomplishment are part of DataCamp Premium.

Why we suggest this course
A clear primer for leaders, managers, and aspiring AI strategists who need to make good decisions about where AI fits — and where it doesn't. Its most useful move is teaching you to question whether AI is the right fit at all, rather than assuming it, and to attach honest metrics and return-on-investment thinking to AI projects. That discipline is what separates a real strategy from enthusiasm. One thing to know: the opening chapter is free to try, but the full course and its Statement of Accomplishment are part of DataCamp Premium.
