UCC AI Academy


Catalysing the AI transition through training and education

At UCC we believe that education and training are key levers for the successful and responsible adoption of trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI).  UCC AI Academy offers a variety of training offerings to organisations and life-long learners based on the latest research, delivered to the highest standard. 

Overview

The growing potential for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our daily lives is a defining feature of the 21st century. The impact of AI is transformational, disrupting society and industry alike. Over the last decade alone, the availability of vast amounts of digital data, the availability of powerful computing architectures, and advances in AI techniques such as machine learning have led to major advances across multiple sectors. There have been significant AI-enabled and data driven developments in smart manufacturing, autonomous vehicles, healthcare, home/service robots, education, cybersecurity, to name but a few.

Fundamental scientific advances in automated reasoning, Boolean satisfiability, and complex problem solving, have brought within reach a variety of intractable AI tasks that arise in scheduling, diagnosis, model-based reasoning, security, verification, and planning. Building on the legacy of Professor George Boole at University College Cork, UCC Futures – AI & Data Analytics promotes interdisciplinary collaboration at the cutting edge of AI and Data Analytics.

The need for lifelong learning in AI is growing significantly. Under the European Union’s AI Act there is an obligation on organisations that provide and deploy AI to ensure that their staff have benefitted from AI Literacy training. In establishing the AI Academy, UCC is ensuring that a variety of lifelong learning opportunities are made available to industry, business, local authorities, public bodies, and the general public.
