Carnegie Mellon's AI Program Aims to Better Prepare Students for the Changing Workforce

Carnegie Mellon University is revamping the way it teaches artificial intelligence. The university's computer science department debuted Tuesday its CMU AI initiative intended to better prepare students for entering the workforce. The goal is to train students to build complex software systems or powerful robots that utilize multiple different AI technologies, whether it be machine learning tech to help those systems learn from data or technology that helps robots see and perceive the world similar to humans.
