Artificial intelligence education in Slovakia is stronger
The field of artificial intelligence has become one of the activities of the national project IT Academy – Education for the 21st Century. “Experts from IT companies have also asked to extend the project activity to this modern area of artificial intelligence in higher education. Representatives of IT companies are increasingly using natural intelligence solutions today. This concerns technical, humanities and economic areas. Graduates with knowledge in the field artificial intelligence is demanded by the labor market itself and there is still a shortage of them, “ said Ľubomír Antoni from the national project IT Academy of Education for the 21st Century.
In the period from September 2021 to August 2022, the researchers are also working on the creation of study materials for new and innovated subjects in the field of artificial intelligence. “The researchers are also working on further updating study materials for university teachers and more than 3,000 university students. They build on the previous creation, revision and updating of the content of 57 university courses for computer scientists, as well as non-IT students at all five partner universities.” Antoni clarified.
The materials are created in cooperation with experts from IT companies and on the basis of feedback from the teaching of university subjects. The outputs are beneficial for students, teachers, but also IT companies.
