More and more local businesses are adopting generative AI tools to grow revenue, enhance customer experiences and improve efficiencies. To further help businesses fully utilize this powerful technology, while providing employees with access to upskilling programs in AI, the University of Waterloo’s WatSPEED unit has partnered with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) to launch a new AI Hub.
The AI Hub will help small and medium-sized businesses adopt AI technology through access to resources and talent, as well as help address ethical and data privacy concerns that could pose barriers to implementing AI across their organizations.
In addition, WatSPEED is offering programs for workers and employees to upskill their expertise in AI, including courses such as “AI and Business Strategy” and “ChatGPT and the Large Language Model Revolution”, taught by university faculty
subject matter experts in AI, innovation and commercialization.
With a focus on the development of cutting-edge educational resources tailored for businesses and AI training that meets the demand for skills, the AI Hub will maximize the benefits of AI for businesses, workers and communities across the province.
