University of Cincinnati launches new Artificial Intelligence program

Artificial Intelligence is shaping up the world in every possible way. There is a huge demand for skilled professionals in this field and the demand is only going to grow in the near future. The objective of launching this program is to train students for a career in this fast-growing field.

University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College has launched the new Artificial Intelligence (AI) degree program that features the AI for Workforce program developed by Intel. It prepares students for a career in this fast-growing field in just two years.

“Artificial intelligence holds immense potential as a transformative force, reshaping jobs and industries. For the U.S. to be globally competitive, it must develop an AI-ready workforce. Intel is committed to bringing AI everywhere and expanding digital readiness. We greatly value this collaboration with UC Blue Ash to bring AI courses and an AI associate degree track to Ohio, which will be vital for helping businesses find skilled AI professionals," said Brian Gonzalez, executive director of Government Partnerships and Initiatives at Intel Corporation.

“Our new Artificial Intelligence program is an important development as we continuously work to add academic degree programs that offer valuable opportunities for our students and help meet the demand among businesses in our region and beyond. We truly appreciate Intel’s partnership in making this program possible,” said UC Blue Ash Dean Robin Lightner, PhD.

There is no pre-requisite of knowing tech or coding knowledge for this course. The only requirements include fundamental math skills and an interest in these areas. In this program, the students will study a wide range of topics that include machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision and AI ethics. The program offers professional training for faculty and more than 500 hours of content for college courses.

Intel is constructing two new semiconductor chip factories in Licking County, Ohio, near Columbus. The project is worth $20 billion and it will develop groundbreaking technology and is expected to create approximately 3,000 new jobs when production is scheduled to begin in 2027.

The program is designed to teach the student about the practical applications of AI in a variety of industries, such as health care, finance and manufacturing to prepare graduates for in-demand entry-level positions. The students in the program will get the opportunity to participate in internships with local companies and organizations. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates there will be 11.5 million data-related job openings by 2026.
