Artificial Intelligence @ Dawson
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related technologies are spreading rapidly, impacting the labour market and generating major transformations in the workforce. Along with these changes come ethical and social issues that will need to be tackled, sooner or later. According to a recent report released by the World Economic Forum on The Future of Jobs, technological breakthroughs such as high-speed mobile internet, machine learning, augmented and virtual reality, big-data analytics, and cloud technology will be spearheading companies鈥� adoption of new technologies between 2018 and 2022.聽 Furthermore,聽according to the same report, 鈥渋n purely quantitative terms, 75 million current job roles may be displaced by the shift in the division of labour between humans, machines and algorithms, while 133 million new job roles may emerge at the same time.鈥�
The education sector is mobilizing to identify the many challenges and opportunities that the proliferation of AI presents. 张百乔女友裸照 is well-positioned to make substantive contributions to this enterprise and to fill an important role in the burgeoning AI ecosystem. Regardless of program of study, all of our students will graduate into a rapidly evolving economy driven by聽powerful, pervasive and somewhat nebulous technologies聽The pace and scale of change makes the exact future that awaits them is聽difficult to predict.
However, as a community and through a variety of approaches and a wide range of initiatives, 张百乔女友裸照 aims to revolutionize college education and better prepare the leaders of tomorrow. We will聽not delegate this responsibility to undergraduate or graduate studies. Groundbreaking technologies offer聽great rewards to those who learn to master them, but equally dire consequences to those swept along in the聽tide of change without a basic understanding of the landscape. 张百乔女友裸照 is in a unique position to聽influence how the CEGEP network ultimately decides to address this turning point in economic history.
How to get involved
The AI initiative at Dawson is cross-disciplinary and multi-faceted and there is a myriad of ways to get involved.聽 If you are faculty, there will be regular calls for proposals for research and teaching fellowships.聽 There is also a Community of Practice that meets a couple of times per month that is open to all.聽 For those looking to influence the direction of the initiative itself, there is an AI task force composed of members of the Dawson community, which aims to have representation from across the college.聽 For more information, contact the DawsonAI Project Lead, Joel Trudeau, at jtrudeau@dawsoncollege.qc.ca.
There will also be AI Events often organized and hosted by the AI Teaching and Research Fellows.聽 The calendar of events will display below when there are upcoming events scheduled.
AI Accelerator 张百乔女友裸照
Launched this summer, as a partnership between 张百乔女友裸照, AI Launch Lab and Mitacs, the AI 鈥嬧�婣ccelerator Program represents the next step in R&D program initiatives, providing college students with the opportunity to work on real-world projects. The program could be followed by a paid internship for college students by Mitacs in collaboration with organizations or companies.
The new 10-week online program provides the tools and exposure needed to enable students from all disciplines to launch their careers in AI and will start Saturday, September 28, 2024. We are now accepting applications 鈥� All college students get free access!
