OTTAWA (APRIL 20, 2022) – Algonquin College is announcing the launch of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software Development program, a one-year graduate certificate program with co-op option. Located on the Ottawa Campus, program graduates will be equipped to meet the growing market demand for AI software development expertise.
“We’re thrilled to bring this leading AI program to the learners at Algonquin College. Graduates will have a clear advantage in the artificial intelligence field with an in-depth understanding of ethical considerations within the AI landscape,” said Claude Brulé, Algonquin College President and CEO.
Program courses will explore AI techniques as applied to machine learning, troubleshooting and optimizing AI systems, configuring AI models to perform tasks autonomously, and preparing analytical reports.
