The State of Florida is home to 28 state and community colleges, collectively serving over 640,000 students. Within the Florida College System (FCS), these institutions play a crucial role in providing higher education to more than 22 million Florida residents. This session will specifically highlight the advancements in AI curriculum across Florida's two-year colleges and their collaborative interrelationships with Florida’s System of four-year/ upper division State Universities in developing a comprehensive AI educational framework.
As advancements in AI continue to reshape fields such as science, engineering, medicine, and the humanities, higher education institutions are strategically positioned to cultivate student competencies and skills in AI. Florida's state colleges are dedicated to equipping students with essential knowledge in artificial intelligence, neural networks, machine learning, and data science. These programs aim to prepare students not only for immediate employment in AI-related careers but also for continued education at state universities in advanced AI disciplines.
The state colleges in Florida are at the forefront of adapting to AI technology, and preparing students for a future increasingly reliant on AI skills. While specific AI degree programs may not yet be widespread, these initiatives are integrating AI into various courses and disciplines.
The presentation in the session will highlight recent advancements in AI at these state colleges and their connections with the Florida State University System.
