- New master’s blends AI, business strategy, and leadership for AI-driven roles
- Focuses on job-ready skills aligned with Singapore’s national priorities
- Builds AI-fluent business leaders across Asia to bridge technical and management teams
Singapore Management University (SMU) has launched a Master of Science in Business AI to prepare professionals to lead in an AI-driven economy. The program addresses a critical talent gap, business leaders who can understand and apply AI to strategy, decision-making, and operations.
Aligned with Singapore’s SkillsFuture and Smart Nation initiatives, the program responds to growing demand for AI-fluent leadership as organizations across Asia-Pacific integrate AI into daily workflows. While AI tools are widely available, few leaders can translate technology into real business value.
SMU’s program is business-focused, emphasizing responsible AI adoption, risk management, and strategic transformation. The curriculum combines business fundamentals with AI concepts, ethics, and governance, bridging the gap between management and technical teams.

Developed with industry input, the program equips graduates with leadership, strategic thinking, and communication skills needed to guide AI adoption ethically and effectively. With strong connections to employers in Singapore and Asia, SMU expects the program to boost workforce transformation and job readiness in AI-related leadership roles. Applications are open for the August 2026 intake.
