Artificial Intelligence & Data Science Programs
This year, in Section B, we introduced questions aimed at better understanding the direction computing programs are taking with regard to Artificial Intelligence. Specifically, whether computing units are introducing standalone Artificial Intelligence programs at the Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral levels and whether they include those numbers in their Taulbee responses. Below are the findings from this year’s responses for both the Artificial Intelligence questions alongside similar Data Science program questions introduced in prior years.
