Master in Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence

The tuition fee is 4,489 USD per year.

Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence is a master's program at Università degli Studi di Milano, taught in English in Milano, Italy, over two years, for students with a background in computer science, engineering, or a related quantitative field. The discipline studies artificial intelligence with particular attention to how systems interact with, affect, and are shaped by human users, rather than treating AI purely as a technical problem separate from its social context. Students typically study machine learning, data science, and the algorithms underlying modern AI systems, alongside subjects such as human-computer interaction, ethics, and the design principles needed to build systems that are usable, transparent, and accountable. Coursework often covers how AI systems can be evaluated not only for technical accuracy but for fairness, interpretability, and their broader effects on the people who use or are affected by them. Students may also study the regulatory and policy questions surrounding AI deployment, given growing attention to how automated systems should be governed. Because building AI that works well for people requires understanding both the technology and the humans who use it, programs in this field combine technical training with perspectives from design, psychology, and ethics. Graduates pursue careers in technology companies developing AI products, user experience and design roles focused on intelligent systems, research institutions studying the societal effects of AI, and organizations working on responsible AI policy and governance. Others continue into doctoral research on specific technical or ethical questions in AI. Milano's technology and research sector offers relevant context for this English-taught program, which trains international students to build AI systems designed with human needs and consequences in mind.
