The aim of the English-language master’s programme in Artificial Intelligence (AI), offered since September 2022, and since September 2023 has evolved into an interdepartmental with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is to be a modern programme, which will contain a strong interdisciplinary component, as required by human-centred, explainable and responsible artificial intelligence. Compulsory courses include courses on artificial intelligence and ethics, as well as artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship. Providing career advice to students is a top priority, with the aim of helping all graduates to successfully pursue an AI-related career, possibly setting up their own start-ups. The development of this new master's programme was co-funded by the European Union (Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) – Telecommunications Sector). Europe's initiative to fund new master's programmes in the field of artificial intelligence demonstrates the importance that Europe attaches to recent developments in this field, providing solutions to global problems related to every aspect of human life, contributing to growth and competitiveness. Europe urgently needs more AI professionals, entrepreneurs and researchers, capable of paving the way for new innovations for the good of society and pushing the frontiers of the field to new challenges. This new generation of AI graduates must be fully familiar with the latest technological developments in terms of the breadth and depth of technical knowledge in AI, be connected to industry and be fully aware of the ethical issues involved. |
