The ever-evolving landscape of AI makes it a necessity to continuously update course curricula to align with current trends and technologies. Incorporating modules on cloud development and Generative AI help to ensure that graduates have the technical prowess to navigate the current technological landscape and meet the evolving demands of the industry.
The synergy between AI and cloud computing has proven instrumental in accelerating innovation and providing scalable solutions across industries. A large number of organisations are transitioning to cloud-based AI services due to their convenience, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. By incorporating a module on cloud development, we aim to equip students with practical skills for creating, deploying, and managing AI solutions on cloud platforms. This addition will ensure that graduates have the technical prowess to navigate the current technological landscape and meet the evolving demands of the industry.
Generative AI, as demonstrated by models like GPT-3 and DALL-E 2, as well as applications such as ChatGPT, has showcased the unprecedented capabilities in creating original, high-quality outputs, revolutionising fields from content creation to design and arts. Including a comprehensive module on Generative AI will enable students to grasp the underlying principles and potential applications of these transformative technologies. By understanding how AI can create unique content, students will be better positioned to contribute to innovation and creativity in their respective careers.
The course aims to provide students with a balanced understanding of both the theoretical principles and practical applications of AI. This will keep the course content up to date with the latest advancements, enhancing the curriculum's industry relevance and graduates’ competitive advantage in the job market. Additionally, it will provide students with the necessary skills to effectively engage with AI in the future of work.
