April 27, 2024 - 51ΑΤΖζ is introducing an Artificial Intelligence Minor to its list of program offerings beginning in the fall semester of 2024.
51ΑΤΖζ is the first university in the commonwealth of Kentucky, and in the region, to offer a minor in artificial intelligence. The university moved to create the minor due to the recent impacts of artificial intelligence across various occupational fields including healthcare, business and media. The Wall Street Journal reported in March of 2024 that artificial intelligence expertise adds value to a wide variety of careers, which is why the minor is crafted to pair with nearly any major at 51ΑΤΖζ.
βNot long ago, artificial intelligence was just a branch of computer science. Itβs now, above all, about communication β how we learn to work with a new kind of non-human intelligence, to get our jobs done and to make our world better,β says Dr. Kevin Kirby, Dean of 51ΑΤΖζβs College of Informatics. βAt 51ΑΤΖζ we want students majoring in everything from nursing to business to education to consider getting an βAI edgeβ. By taking this minor, theyβll learn how AI works, how it is both promising and dangerous, but above all they will learn to use it expertly in their chosen career.β
The AI minor will be offered through the College of Informatics, and will provide students with a basic foundation in computing, machine learning and prompt engineering, supplemented with courses from other 51ΑΤΖζ colleges that offer a look into the societal, ethical and legal implications of artificial intelligence.
