This is an exceptional opportunity and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ is exploring the creation of new profiles within these programs that could organize a range of AI-related curricula already developed by faculty through the AI learning community of teaching and research fellows. Additionally, a proposed AI-themed certificate could allow any student to flavour their program experience with AI topics and projects. The AI competency framework developed through this project is a valuable tool for the development of such initiatives at the college level.<\/p>\n<h2>Overview<\/h2>\n<p>This document is the principal outcome of an ambitious collaborative project between Concordia University and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ to co-construct an artificial intelligence (Al) competency framework that supports the creation of success pipelines for learners from college to university to lifelong learning. The aim is to provide a flexible tool for educators, program developers, recognition of acquired competencies (RAC) coordinators, and other stakeholders engaged with developing curriculum and training programs that address ever-evolving Al talent needs. Growing evidence for an accelerating rate of digital transformation further amplified by the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, motivated us to look toward curriculum frameworks that are general in focus. For this reason, we have clustered AI competencies that may be used in varied higher education contexts along the pipeline for the pressing needs of today while being adaptable and extensible for the future.<\/p>\n<p>The AI competency framework is a result of extensive consultation with subject matter experts, instructional designers, and program development professionals. It serves as a curriculum development resource that can balance the technical, business, and human domains with ethics and civics in educational programs and professional training. Since the competencies are modular, they can be combined to fit specific objectives and program goals.<\/p>\n<p>In the face of numerous challenges and in persevering through the pandemic conditions, our team proudly celebrates the achievement of this work. It points to our shared responsibility in higher education to accompany learners through the acquisition of skills and knowledge along paths toward a lifetime of learning for the good of all. This also marks the beginning of a new phase of collaboration with opportunities to partner, innovate, and tackle education challenges in the age of AI. We hope that this AI competency framework user guide will be a valuable addition to your AI education toolkit.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<br \/>\n<em>Sherry Blok<br \/>\n<\/em>Director of Programs, Concordia Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, Concordia University<\/p>\n<p><em>Joel Trudeau<br \/>\n<\/em>Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAI Artificial Intelligence Project Lead, Faculty, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ<\/p>\n<p><em>Robert Cassidy<br \/>\n<\/em>Director, Centre for Teaching and Learning, Concordia University<\/p>\n<h2>Acknowledgments<\/h2>\n<p>We express our gratitude to <em>P\u00f4le montr\u00e9alais d\u2019enseignement sup\u00e9rieur en intelligence artificielle (PIA)<\/em> for providing a grant to support the development of this artificial intelligence competency framework.
