Artificial Intelligence Major - ARIN

General description:

Society and everyday life are teeming with smart devices, digital assistants, unprecedented medical diagnostics, product recommendations, smart navigation systems, AI bots, self-parking and self-driving vehicles, email smart replies, and AI models for analyzing volumes of data. Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming every walk of life, and its technologies are used today in medicine, science, education, government, the military, finance, security, retail, agriculture, customer service, manufacturing, entertainment and communications. Carroll offers an education in applied Artificial Intelligence that places an emphasis on mastering skills and technologies of AI, while also honing an awareness of the ethical considerations surrounding AI that you’ll need to keep pace in this quickly expanding landscape.

The major in AI will prepare students with the tools and skills necessary for careers as AI practitioners. As such, it will equip them with the skills required to incorporate AI techniques and technologies within a breadth of relevant application areas.
