Masters specialized in artificial intelligence on the test bench

The grandes écoles respond to the demand of companies, which pay attention to artificial intelligence and the asset that this represents.

Three out of four leaders are convinced that if they do not deploy artificial intelligence on the scale of their business within the next five years, they risk ceasing their activity, notes the consulting company Accenture.What pleases so much is the capacity of IT programs, via algorithms, to carry out heavy calculations dealing with many sources of information, and their ability to constantly improve.

Scientific profiles

Engineering schools are obviously at the forefront."The AI supposes profiles with a base of applied mathematics and solid computer science, an ease in computer science," explains Vincent Mousseau, academic director of the MSC in Artificial Intelligence of Centraleupelec, launched in 2018.Same principle for the MS of Télécom Paris, open with ENSTA Paris."Everything is applied, through mini-projects supervised by companies and teachers, in the form of hackathons, challenges, red son projects," explains Ons Jelassi who supervises MS in data science and AI to Telecom Paris.

Efrei Paris is the first school to launch an MSC entirely dedicated to cybersecurity and AI at the start of the school year in September."New generations of tools based on artificial intelligence make it possible to fight against diffuse and massive attacks.The needs of companies are enormous on these profiles, "says Max AGUEH, head of the security center, networks, EFREI on -board systems.The school plans to reach 80 to 120 students per promotion, for careers of auditors in cybersecurity and AI, head of SI security, technical safety consultants.

In business school too

Management schools are not to be outdone. Montpellier BS a remodelé son MSc in digital transformation avec désormais deux parcours, dont un en data science, big data & AI pour lequel l’école a recruté des spécialistes en IA et big data.Many weave partnerships with engineering schools.Em Normandie and Epita launched last March an MSC AI for Marketing Strategy in two years, Skema and ESIEA the MSC AI for Business Transformation last year.

The first half takes place at ESIEA and deals with programming skills, Machine Learning, Big Data, Cloud, Cybersecurity, Use of AI;The second at Skema teaches AI management."Students are at the management of management and engineer.The objective is to train consultants in digital transformation, business analysts, data scientists, project managers in AI, "explains Christophe Désas, director of SKEMA MSC programs.The graduates then integrate large groups, computer service companies and data science, or young shoots, such as this graduate of Centraleupélec entered a start-up specializing in medical imaging and identification of tumors.
