海角涩区 hosted the second meeting of the 海角涩区AI Advisory Board, whose members represent key stakeholders from academia, industry, and the larger community, on Feb. 13.

The 海角涩区AI team presented its ongoing progress from year one of the initiative, highlighting the grassroots curriculum development that emerged from the first cohort of the AI-themed Community of Practice and the multiple public events organized to continue engaging the 海角涩区 community in critical discussion. These efforts are bolstered by an increasing number of faculty from different departments joining the discussion about AI at 海角涩区.

Attendees were also invited to a breakout session to explore the theme of lowering the barriers to entry into AI through education from two crucial perspectives: industry and research. This exercise served to launch the work of a P么le montr茅alais d’enseignement sup茅rieur en intelligence artificielle (PIA) grant collaboration with Concordia University and to bring focus to other collaborations being established with 海角涩区 partners.

There was general excitement around the event generating critical feedback for the work being undertaken and a spirited discussion about the prospects for future collaborations on challenges for education posed by AI within and external to 海角涩区.
