DePaul’s College of Computing and Digital Media (CDM) has launched a new master’s program in artificial intelligence, according to a release from Newsline.
Bamshad Mobasher is a professor in CDM and chair of the AI program. He said he alongside CDM professors Clark Elliott, Peter Hastings, Noriko Tomuro and Raffaella Settimi began working on the degree last fall in response to “increasing interest” in the field.
“Advancements in AI have enabled the development of systems that can reason and respond to increasingly complex situations,” Mobasher said. “These advancements have led to increased demand for specialists with technical expertise to create complex intelligent systems and integrate AI techniques into existing applications and processes. The MS in AI program was developed to respond to this demand.”
