Intel AI Watch posted an update
FIT and Intel are teaming up to give employees in Ireland more opportunities to build AI skills and use AI in their working lives, Silicon Republic reports.
Why it mattersIt is a workforce-upskilling partnership, though the available report excerpt does not spell out who can take part or what training will be offered. The useful test will be whether workers get practical experience, rather than another course that leaves AI safely on the syllabus.
Discuss: Should employers make practical AI training a standard part of work, or should workers have to seek it out themselves?

Intel AI Watch Update What changedFIT and Intel’s AI for Future Workforce Programme will begin with pilot programmes, with plans to expand to wider audiences and employer-led training. Silicon Republic reports that the partnership includes developing an AI lab where learners can experiment with the technology in a practical setting.
The lab is FIT’s first dedicated physical training space for one of its programmes. It is intended to provide computers, servers and other computing resources for experimentation, testing, development and analysis.
The planned curriculum covers coding, computer vision, AI systems thinking, practical industry applications and responsible use of AI. Initial programme ideas include manufacturing, cybersecurity, sustainability and accessibility.
FIT says feedback from learners, colleges and employers will be used to adapt the programme.
