Happy Higher Education Day! 🎓 It's been so great to see new tech being embraced in higher ed programs—in fact, more schools are creating majors around new tech like quantum computing and AI. By integrating quantum computing, AI, and other cutting-edge technologies into the curriculum, we prepare students to be the innovators and problem solvers of tomorrow. These technologies are shaping the future of our world, so it's important that students have access to courses that build strong foundations in these fields. Not only will these skills be invaluable for students entering the workforce, but they can also end up driving innovation in these industries. #HigherEducation #HigherEd #AI

The rise of artificial intelligence presents an unprecedented opportunity for higher education, yet a recent survey reveals that many institutions feel unprepared. Inside Higher Ed's third annual survey of campus chief technology officers highlights a gap: enthusiasm for AI's potential is not matched by supportive policies. Now is the time for educational leaders to prioritize strategic frameworks that harness AI's power effectively. Discover the insights and implications in the full report here: https://okt.to/q45Rb7. Together, let's shape the future of learning!

👀 📈 “'Demand for AI expertise is already high and will continue to grow,” Cantwell said in a statement. “This bill will open doors to AI for students at all levels, and upskill our workforce to drive American tech innovation, entrepreneurship and progress in solving the toughest global challenges.' The AI bill, which is called the NSF AI Education Act of 2024, calls on the National Science Foundation (NSF) to execute numerous programs bolstering U.S. expertise in AI and quantum computing, a technology that allows for problem solving on a time scale that would be unachievable using classical computers. The proposed programs include: 📜 Awarding undergraduate and graduate scholarships in AI with a focus on the use of AI in agriculture, education and advanced manufacturing, as well as scholarships in quantum computing and programs that blend traditional and quantum computing. 🌽 Providing grants for research on the use of AI in agriculture. 🧬 Creating professional development fellowships for those working in STEM and education. 🏛️ Establishing AI 'Centers of Excellence' at five or more community colleges nationwide for collaborating with educators to develop instructional materials for teaching students about AI. 💻 Developing guidance and tools for students to use AI in K-12 classrooms. 🎓 Launching the 'NSF Grand Challenges' to devise a plan for educating at least 1 million workers in AI by 2028. Its goals includes supporting populations such as women and rural residents who are underrepresented in tech." #AIinEducation #HigherEd #K12 #Teachers

With Slate’s AI technologies expected to emerge in the next couple of years, admissions offices should start to position their workflows, dashboards, and data structures in a way that will fully capitalize on AI’s capabilities. The traditional step-ladder approach to Slate knowledge acquisition is expected to have a higher drop-off between enrollment positions, leading to a higher premium for Slate adminstrators. It’s alarming to see only 9% of chief technology officers believe higher education is prepared to keep pace with technological advances. Those who keep pace are likely to excel beyond competitors in process efficiencies and to some extent, customer service. I am proud to say the Poole College of Management’s Jenkins Graduate Admissions team is embracing these changes to keep pace and offer exceptional customer service to our students. #EmbraceInnovation #SlatedForSuccess #NCState #JenkinsGraduatePrograms

# News: Discoveries in weeks, not years: How AI and high-performance computing are speeding up scientific discovery Visit Our Website: https://lnkd.in/eg8y8gGv Conference Nomination: https://x-i.me/nesiabst2 Award Nomination: https://x-i.me/abdunews Contact us: nesinenquiry@sciencefather.com More: Computing has already accelerated scientific discovery. Now scientists say a combination of advanced AI with next-generation cloud computing is turbocharging the pace of discovery to speeds unimaginable just a few years ago. Microsoft and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, Washington, are collaborating to demonstrate how this acceleration can benefit chemistry and materials science – two scientific fields pivotal to finding energy solutions that the world needs. #ResearchAwards #ScienceInventions #InnovationRecognition #ScienceInnovation #IndustryInnovation #ResearchExcellence #TechInnovation #ScientificDiscovery #CuttingEdgeScience #InnovationAwards #NewTechnologies #IndustryLeadership #STEMInnovation #ResearchRecognition #InnovativeResearch #ScienceFather #International #awards #Research #Awards #New #Science #Inventions #innovation #Technology #Recognition #Program #Science #Advancement #Achievement #Award #artificialintelligence #Intelligence #Biomedical #Engineering #renewableenergy #Nanotechnology #ComputerScience #Physics #Environmental #Science #Collaboration #Excellence #ScientificResearch #Knowledge #Exchange #scienceFather #Academic #Conferences #Scholarly #Publications #Networking

Generative AI empowers higher educational institutions by creating personalized learning paths, automating tasks, and fostering global collaboration, ultimately enriching student experiences and driving academic advancements. In the link below Dr Diwan was a Speaker at the Future of Education summit hosted by Kalvium. He shared his insights on Generative AI in Higher Education and encapsulated his insights in the six-slide presentation below. https://lnkd.in/g5hDhwjQ

#Student founders of data & AI products get their own #GPU cluster at Universität Duisburg-Essen 🎉 We have been ambitious in supporting aspiring digital entrepreneurs at the university. I believe this is a vital way to solve the big challenges of our time with cutting-edge tech. Solving such issues is a major reason, why we founded the Place Beyond Bytes last year. Among the many challenges that entrepreneurs face with AI products, compute resources and the skills to use them are a particular bottleneck that hold students back. I see a lot of computer science and information systems students trying to train #machinelearning models on their laptops, or using all AWS/GCloud credits that they can get a hand on. With the new GPU cluster, we provide any student who becomes a member of Place Beyond Bytes or who attends our ML/AI classes with the compute resources necessary to process their complex models, and work on innovative prototypes that solve important problems. --- What is a GPU cluster? --- A GPU cluster combines multiple Graphical Processing Units that accelerate the development of AI products, enabling students to efficiently process large datasets and train complex models quickly. This setup is crucial for advanced AI projects, offering the computational power necessary for rapid innovation and experimentation. #ArtificialIntelligence #entrepreneurship #university #spinoff Thanks to the new computer science faculty at Universität Duisburg-Essen and GUIDE - Zentrum für Gründungen und Innopreneurship der Universität Duisburg-Essen, esp. Pedro and Bernhard, for their ongoing support! Special thanks to Projektträger Jülich (PtJ), Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen (namely, funding line ZSL), and Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Industrie, Klimaschutz und Energie des Landes NRW (namely, funding line Exzellenz Start-up Center.NRW) for their financial support!
