The AI@ORU research seminar series
At Örebro University, we truly believe that AI and autonomous systems will help solve some of our biggest societal challenges as well as make life better for billions of people around the world. That’s why we love what we do. Our aim with the research seminar series AI@ORU is to raise awareness of the breadth of perspectives on AI found at Örebro University, and to facilitate and inspire new collaborations.
AI@ORU, 18 September: AI+Education – WASP-ED towards a generic AI masters
18 September, 12:00-13:00, Innova (Labbet) or online via Zoom.
Speaker: Senior lecturer Ella Kolkowska.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is seamlessly integrated into our daily lives, often unnoticed, through tools like search engines, translation services, image recognition, and smart assistants.
In professional settings, AI plays a pivotal role across various fields. In healthcare, it assists in analyzing medical data and diagnosing patients. In finance, AI is utilized for risk assessment and fraud detection, while in creative industries, it quickly transforms ideas into sketches and drafts.
As AI continues to evolve, more applications will emerge, and it is widely accepted that AI will lead to significant changes for individuals and society as a whole. To address the growing need for AI competence, particularly for professionals without a technical background, we, within the WASP-ED project, have developed a blueprint for a generic AI Master’s program.
In this presentation, we will outline the competence gaps identified through workshops, strategic document analyses, and reviews of existing AI programs. Finally, we will present an idea for a generic AI master program designed to meet these needs.
