Grant helps GRCC up its artificial intelligence game

Mention artificial intelligence and people might think of movies where software behind darkened computer screens take over for humans. But reality is not science fiction. "(It's) more about how can we create a vision system that can spot a defect on a production line," said Grand Rapids Community College Professor Andrew Rozema, who runs the computer information systems program at the school. Some $40,000 is heading to GRCC from the American Association of Community Colleges, Dell Technologies and Intel to help train students in AI. GRCC was one of only 15 community colleges in the nation to qualify for the grant.
