First undergraduate degree in AI offered at Carnegie Mellon

Undergraduates in America will be able to take coursework with a focus on artificial intelligence for the first time through a new computer science program at Carnegie Mellon, according to Engadget. The dean of the college, Andrew Moore, says specialists in the field have never been in higher demand or shorter supply, and this degree will help bridge that gap.

Carnegie Mellon is already very familiar with how to run a successful campaign in this field as its AI graduate program was recently ranked number one in the country. Students will be able to apply after their first year in the college and will likely face stiff competition over the one hundred spot limit.
