Shalin Jyotishi wrote an article for Forbes on the National Applied Artificial Intelligence Consortium which will work to scale the access and improve the quality of AI and workforce training at community colleges.
With a $2.8 million U.S. National Science Foundation grant, Miami Dade College, in partnership with Houston Community College and Maricopa County Community College District, is launching the National Applied Artificial Intelligence Consortium. The consortium will work to scale the access and improve the quality of AI and workforce training at community colleges.
The three institutions were early leaders in creating AI offerings at the community college level. Miami Dade, Houston, and Chandler-Gilbert Community College, a part of the Maricopa Community College District, were among the first colleges in the nation to be approved to offer applied baccalaureates in AI. The colleges will work together to promote best practices and address shared challenges with colleges nationwide.
