Project Description:
Science is clear: Artificial Intelligence will be the defining development of the 21st century. Experts estimate that due to the rise of AI within only 2 decades aspects of daily human life will be unrecognisable. The influence of AI is about to challenge the very organising principles of our economic and social order. It can generate unprecedented wealth, revolutionise medicine and education, but it can bring existential perils for life as we know it. This makes the EC2020 report that the EU is lagging behind USA and Asia in AI adoption and development all the more worrying. Among many reasons behind that, the lack of skilled workforce is definitively one of the more prominent ones. The objective of AI4VET4AI is to contribute to the digital transformation of the EU labour market by adding new innovative teaching content and methods to VET curricula across 11 European countries and 18 EU NUTS2 regions, in order to support the growth of AI-skilled workers. We start from the ground up: we investigate the most potent sectors for AI deployment in our 17 regions, and for those sectors, in close cooperation with enterprises and their cluster organisations we create 14 MOOCs and TT materials that can easily be implemented in VET programmes (IVET and CVET).
