"This dedicated AI program will accelerate students to become AI leaders as quickly as possible in order to address societal challenges as soon as possible."
At Penn, all students in the AI program will be required to satisfy an ethics requirement.
The new AI courses will be available to all Penn students, regardless of their major.
"A cohort of AI engineering students makes for the perfect educational laboratory for testing how best to integrate AI in learning."
Penn's new degree will be "training students for jobs that don't yet exist," Ghrist said in the press release.
