Applied AI Concentration FAQs

What is applied AI in computer science?

What is applied AI? Students with an applied AI concentration learn how to use the powerful existing AI sources and language models. Students then incorporate these tools into specific pieces of software for business contexts, such as an AI plugin for Zoom. 

What is computer science?

Computer science focuses on information dissemination, problem-solving, integrating computers into other forms of technology, and making tasks faster and easier through tools such as generative AI. A large component of this field is creating ways to access information quickly and using it efficiently and effectively. Read our blog, Computer Science FAQs: What is Computer Science? for more information about a computer science degree. 

Is computer science hard?

It’s true that computer science is a hard major, but it’s perfect for problem-solvers and critical thinkers. At Grace, our computer science classes often include students with different levels of experience, and our program is designed so that a student with no experience can succeed alongside one with a background in programming. 

What does faith integration look like for computer science?

Christian ethics are vital to maintaining the integrity of computer science applications. While technology can make tasks efficient and easy, it can also be exploited and corrupted. When you prioritize your faith over profit, you create programs, coding, and other resources that truly benefit consumers on both practical and moral levels. 

Explore Dr. Amy Feaver’s devotional to discover how faith and computer science can go hand-in-hand. 

What can you do with an applied AI concentration?

Jobs you can pursue with an applied AI in computer science concentration include AI or machine learning engineer, data scientist or analyst, software engineer, or AI ethics consultant. Some companies employ students to use AI for data collection and then report it back to the company. In these jobs, you are able to calculate large-scale trends and correlations between customers using AI that couldn’t be done individually due to the large amount of available content on the web. 

What skills do you learn in an applied AI program?

While studying applied AI, you will learn about software development, robotics and automation, data science, machine learning, and ethical use of AI.
