Introduction

In an era shaped by digital transformation, the management of population dynamics—whether in urban expansion, rural migration, or aging demographics—requires innovative and data-driven approaches. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data analytics now offer unprecedented tools to forecast, plan, and optimize population-related policies.

This advanced training program, designed by Global Horizon Training Center, empowers professionals and decision-makers to apply AI and analytics to complex population management challenges. Through practical sessions, real-world case studies, and interactive exercises, participants will learn to transform data into actionable strategies that enhance policy development, urban planning, and social service delivery.

 Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of AI, machine learning, and big data in population studies.

• Collect, analyze, and integrate demographic data from diverse sources.

• Apply predictive models to forecast demographic trends and optimize planning.

• Visualize population insights using advanced tools like Power BI and Tableau.

• Develop smart city strategies supported by AI.

• Address ethical, privacy, and governance challenges related to data-driven decisions.

• Build institutional frameworks for sustainable population management.
