The provision of AI knowledge and skills that respond to the huge demand of today’s AI industry has been identified as a critical need in the European Union strategic vision to become a world leader in AI.

This proposal aims to deliver modern “on the edge” Master Programmes in AI within the network of the proposal’s partner universities promoting new careers in AI for students from any EU country. The programme will contain a strong element of inter disciplinarity as required by modern Human-Centric, Explainable and Responsible AI. It will strengthen and broaden existing master programmes in AI or other related areas by enriching and opening up the available courses among the partner universities so that students can have access to a wider selection of course modules including industrially connected modules supported by the partner SMEs. In particular, this widening of choice and student experience will be facilitated by distance-learning courses build on top of the openly available online course material.

To respond directly to the needs of the AI industry the Master programme will be designed with strong input from the SME partners and a participating Research Centre and will include, together with the AI & Ethics course, two other mandatory courses: one on “AI & entrepreneurship” and another called, “AI on the Edge”, which will be taught primarily online through Webinar guest lectures from industry and the business world. In addition, the students will have the opportunity to attend “AI Camps” offering collaborative experience in group projects on industry related problems and challenges. This exposure together with targeted counselling aims to facilitate the development of a clear vision for AI careers for the students including the possibility of AI entrepreneurship by students.
