MBA in artificial intelligence

The course will be offered by School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities of USP (EACH-USP), with the administrative and financial management of the Foundation for Support to the University of the state of São Paulo (FUSP).

The faculty of the course includes several experts, including Justice Marco Anthony Steveson Villas Boas, who is general director of Esmat and president of Copedem. Other names include the ministers of the Superior Court of Justice, Ricardo Villas Boas Cueva and Marco Aurélio Gastaldi Buzzi, and the minister of the Superior Court of Labor, Douglas Alencar Rodrigues.
