Artificial Intelligence Pathway Map to Employment
Artificial intelligence (AI), is a branch of computer science that focuses on building and managing technology that can learn to make decisions, carry out actions on behalf of a human being and perform human-like tasks. This requires processing large amounts of data into AI algorithms that will recognize patterns and make predictions or classifications based on the data recieved. While this is a fast changing field, Hawaiʻi postsecondary programs will help students understand the fundamentals of what AI is and how it can be used to make the world a better place. Most Jobs in the AI field require a bachelors degree or higher. Some of the job titles in AI are Deep Learning Engineers, Data Engineers or Data Scientists. The map below details the various education pathways available in Hawaiʻi from high school through college and into a career.
