About The Consortium for AI Innovation & Education
Background and Mission
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to disrupt industries across every spectrum. However, AI talent is very scarce. Academia faces a severe shortage of professors who can teach the next generation of Artificial Intelligence. In the meantime, global AI efforts are continually spawning new branches and the algorithms are rapidly iterated. This poses a major challenge to educational institutions whose task is to keep providing talent to the global economy.
To meet this challenge, Professors from UC Berkeley and other top universities called for a resource sharing strategy for AI education, and tasked a team of professors and senior engineers in Silicon Valley to create the Consortium for AI Innovation & Education (CAIIE), aiming to bring together professionals in Artificial Intelligence to share their resources with colleges and help standardize AI programs in the colleges.
The mission of the consortium is to assist the advancement of each institution’s mission and strategic goals by offering them shared Artificial Intelligence resources in the Silicon Valley.
Divisions
CAIIE is organized as the following divisions:
Artificial Intelligence Division develops and assess programs in the general areas of Artificial Intelligence. The current initiative is to assist colleges to build/enhance their AI specialties, and further advance the AI specialties to full-blown AI colleges.
Smart Manufacturing Division develops and assesses programs in applying Artificial Intelligence technology to the manufacturing industry.
Intelligent Vehicle Division develops and assesses programs in applying Artificial Intelligence technology to vehicles.
Smart Business Division develops and assesses programs in applying Artificial Intelligence technology to businesses/enterprises.
Smart Finance Division develops and assesses programs in applying Artificial Intelligence technology to the Finance segment.
Smart Art Division develops and assesses programs in applying Artificial Intelligence technology to Arts.
Smart Ag Division develops and assesses programs in applying Artificial Intelligence technology to Agriculture.
