Class Overview
What will we do?
This class is reserved for remote time to complete individual RPA solutions that are due by the end of the day. Other individual cases can also be finalized for completion during this time, or a head-start can be made on the governance, ethics and cybersecurity materials that relate to the final project. Teams that have completed their individual RPA solutions can use this time to meet and work on their team-based automation design project. All students should also read the background material for the final project, a study on the opportunities and challenges faced with agentic implementations at companies, by a group at MIT.
