Article Written by Janelle Bombalier
How can universities achieve AI integration in university curricula to harness AI’s transformative power across all disciplines, rather than merely adding isolated AI courses?
By 2028, over 90% of employers are expected to implement AI solutions, leading to significant changes in business operations and a potential 47% boost in productivity. This AI-driven transformation is creating a talent shortage, prompting companies to offer substantial salary increases for AI-skilled workers, with Amazon spearheading a global initiative to train 2 million people in AI by 2025.
