The groundbreaking artificial intelligence course has been praised by the government minister for helping to prepare the island's labor force to utilize the technology.
Bermuda College offers the foundations of generative AI and advanced generation AI and rapid engineering for industry application programs.
They are led by Aaron Smith in collaboration with the Bermuda Clarity Institute.
Diallo Rabain, Minister of Digital Innovation, listened to the presentations given by students at the end of the advanced course.
He said:
“I was impressed with the university courses, which is directly in line with the need for digital innovation.”
The Foundations course, consisting of five 3-hour sessions, is application-based and requires students to complete and present the project.
It was operated at the university's new innovation centre by the Atlas division of vocational and career education.
The program also teaches students skills such as mastering prompts, using a variety of AI apps, and understanding the ethics around AI.
Advanced courses examine subjects such as improving prompts for accuracy and automating complex business functions.
David Sam, president of Bermuda College, said he believes the agency is helping to lead the way in teaching about AI.
He explained: “AI doesn't have a job that can do, but it can be about changing tires in cars, fixing leaks with pipes, etc. It's still the future and we need to help educate people to make the most of AI.
“The Clarity Institute courses do just that. They educate Bermudans to use new technology to support themselves and their workplaces.”
