Overview
With recent advances in computing power and communications bandwidth and the ubiquity of internet-connected devices, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as an important discipline, driven heavily by the commercial availability of “smart” technologies and services. These advances correspond with the need for educated, qualified professionals who are capable of developing intelligent systems and exploring new frontiers in AI and machine learning (ML).
This Artificial Intelligence online program at Pennsylvania State University is designed to provide technical education that empowers graduates to drive the design, development, and deployment of AI and ML products and services across a broad array of applications. Professionals working in the field of AI are responsible for identifying and acquiring relevant data sets, developing scalable algorithms based on state-of-the-art AI/ML (including deep learning), natural language processing, reinforcement learning, and computer vision. Their work also includes applying findings to smart consumer devices, medical imaging diagnostics, autonomous vehicles, and weapons systems.
