This year, the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence organized its Spring Symposium Series at Stanford University.
One of the topics discussed was “Increasing Diversity in AI Education and Research.”
Faculty at Fairleigh Dickinson University contributed to the Proceedings of the AAAI 2024 Spring Symposium Series by publishing their discussion on AI Literacy for Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) Students under this topic.
The researchers proposed a framework to integrate AI Literacy into existing programs, and they suggested encouraging faculty-mentored undergraduate research initiatives to address real-world problems using AI.
They emphasized the importance of tailoring the content to be culturally relevant, accessible, and engaging to Hispanic students.
Combining this framework with faculty-mentored undergraduate research would help Hispanic students develop the skills to critically evaluate AI technologies, communicate and collaborate effectively with AI, and ethically use AI as a tool, preparing them for the future.
In addition, a recent research study from National University highlighted the significance of having a Bachelor’s degree for securing a job in artificial intelligence (AI).
The study revealed that advanced degrees and relevant experience are essential for candidates aiming for positions in this field.
Employers are seeking candidates with not only technical skills but also management and communication abilities, making a well-rounded skill set crucial for success in AI roles.
The study, which analyzed 14,889 job postings containing the keyword “AI” across the United States, indicated that over three-quarters of AI job openings prefer candidates with a Master’s degree.
Mid-level experienced professionals are the most sought after, followed by senior-level and entry-level candidates. Remote work opportunities are limited, with only 11% of job openings offering remote positions.
The study emphasized the necessity of at least a Bachelor’s degree, with two-thirds of job openings requiring or preferring candidates with a Master’s degree.
The analysis also revealed that most AI job openings prioritize technical positions, covering a wide range, from content creation to development. Interestingly, skills in management and communication are crucial for most of these positions, as revealed by an in-depth word analysis of 30 job offers.
