Elevating Standards, Expanding Opportunities

The Swiss Institute of Artificial Intelligence (SIAI) is proud to unveil SIAI 2.0, a bold new direction that cements our reputation as the most rigorous MBA in the world. So far, we have been operated under limited resources as an online business school, but after 3 years of pilot programs, we are now confident that our education program is effective in raising top brains in this AI/Data Science field. With full heart, we step forward with bigger, deeper, and wider plans for the cycle of 2025-2026.

With this transformation, we have doubled our tuition, ensuring that we continue to provide an unparalleled learning experience and an elite business network for our students. This is only the beginning, as we plan to further elevate our offerings as we refine our curriculum and industry partnerships.

Below are key Enhancements in SIAI 2.0

1. Research Projects with MSc AI/Data Science Students

SIAI’s MBA AI/Big Data students will now benefit from cross-program collaboration with MSc AI/Data Science researchers. While these research projects are primarily within the MSc program, the insights and outcomes will be strategically shared with top consulting firms and companies in need of cutting-edge AI/DS solutions. This initiative deepens SIAI’s business connections and provides MBA students with greater access to real-world AI applications, industry leaders, and future opportunities.

For instance, recent research at SIAI has examined AI’s role in automating financial risk assessment models, supply chain optimization, and fraud detection. MBA students will have access to findings that could directly influence their consulting work or strategic decision-making in AI-driven enterprises. Additionally, understanding the challenges of hiring the wrong AI or data science professionals—such as model biases, security vulnerabilities, and misalignment with business goals—will help students develop the acumen to lead successful AI-driven projects.

2. Networking Meetings in Zurich, Switzerland

SIAI will now host 4–5 exclusive offline networking events in Zurich to strengthen our students’ professional ties in the AI/Data Science business landscape. These meet-ups will feature guest lecturers from global industry leaders, including major corporations in Silicon Valley and London’s financial districts. Through these events, students will gain firsthand knowledge of the latest industry tools, strategies, and evolving technological trends in high-stakes AI and data-driven business sectors.

A key focus of these networking sessions will be on job disruption caused by AI. In collaboration with top executives, we will analyze which roles in finance, marketing, and supply chain management are at risk of automation in the next few years—and which new AI-powered roles are emerging. For example, while AI-driven chatbots are reducing customer service positions, demand for AI strategy consultants and explainable AI specialists is rising. Understanding these trends will help students future-proof their careers and make informed decisions about industry transitions.

3. Expanded AI/Data Science Case Studies

Our commitment to practical learning intensifies with the expansion of AI/DS case studies. Previously, students worked through nine hands-on case studies during their coursework. With SIAI 2.0, we are increasing this number to ensure students gain exposure to more contemporary cases, recent AI/DS advancements, and high-impact business scenarios.

New case studies will focus on:

• AI Failures in Business: Examining real-world examples of AI implementation failures, such as the bias in automated hiring systems and financial models that failed to predict economic downturns due to poor data.
• The Cost of Hiring the Wrong AI Talent: Understanding why some companies fail in their AI transformation due to hiring underqualified professionals or those lacking domain-specific expertise.
• AI’s Role in Decision-Making: Analyzing how AI-driven analytics are influencing corporate strategy, from dynamic pricing in e-commerce to fraud detection in banking.

By integrating these case studies, we ensure that students remain at the forefront of the latest AI-driven market developments and are better equipped to tackle real-world business challenges.

Maximizing the Value of Every Investment

At SIAI, we understand that doubling tuition is a significant investment for our students. However, our philosophy remains clear: every penny spent on this program must yield exponential value. With enhanced networking opportunities, direct access to pioneering research, and deeper integration with AI-driven industries, SIAI 2.0 ensures that students graduate with an unmatched competitive edge in the market.

Welcome to the next evolution of AI-driven business education. Welcome to SIAI 2.0.
