Masters In Artificial Intelligence Jobs in California

Have you ever wondered why higher education feels stuck? Or imagined rebuilding it from the ground up? Imagine a university where advanced artificial intelligence enhances every student's learning experience through personalized, adaptive, and real-world education.
San Francisco Bay University (SFBU), an innovative, nonprofit, WASC-accredited university located in the heart of Silicon Valley, seeks a forward-thinking and experienced Online Adjunct Professor of Artificial Intelligence to teach AI 505: Corporate Strategy in AI. Working alongside AI-enabled instructional technologies, the faculty member will guide graduate students through engaging asynchronous learning experiences while providing the mentorship, coaching, and academic oversight that only expert faculty can deliver.
AI 505 recognizes that Artificial Intelligence is no longer simply a technical capability—it is a board-level strategic imperative. The course prepares current and aspiring business leaders to integrate AI at enterprise scale using strategic frameworks, governance principles, and organizational change practices. Students learn to identify opportunities where AI creates competitive advantage, align AI initiatives with corporate strategy, evaluate ethical, legal, and societal risks, develop responsible AI governance frameworks, mobilize cross-functional teams, and measure organizational outcomes using meaningful KPIs. Through executive case studies, simulations, and a capstone consulting project, students develop a comprehensive enterprise AI strategy suitable for presentation to executive leadership.
