    Verde Valley News – Yavapai College is embracing the study of Artificial Intelligence and all the possibilities it can offer students. This Fall, YC’s School of Computer Science – in partnership with Intel – is introducing an Artificial Intelligence course as part of an improved, two-year Associate of Arts & Sciences Degree synchronized with the needs of the modern workplace. 

    “AI will be that transformative technology that can catapult us to a different stratosphere when we talk about the modern workplace.” Yavapai College Computer Science Chair Philip Reid said. “It is something you should embrace. People looking to ‘future-proof’ their jobs should be looking at Artificial Intelligence as a way to do so.”

    Understanding Artificial Intelligence, or CSA 250, is a three-credit course that uses Intel’s AI for Workforce platform to teach students the basic applications of AI, as well as the ethics, implicit biases, regulatory and professional expectations that surround the technology. “It will take students through the full gamut of what Artificial Intelligence is, how it is used in the workplace, and how students can apply it in their careers.” Reid said.

    AI’s embedded ability to learn, process data and systemize tasks has made it a symbol of our increasingly computerized future. While some eagerly await its possibilities – and others fear technological overreach – Reid urges people to simply regard AI as a tool: “Think about the days when we didn’t have the calculator. Today, the calculator has become a staple in everything we do, right? You give your kids a calculator to do complex numbers. That’s what AI is going to be.”

    CSA 250 is one component of a two-year, 60-credit AAS degree program that prepares students for careers as software professionals by training them in the universe of Computer Systems Management. “They will learn things like the system development lifecycle, and programming in Python – which a lot of data scientists use,” Reid says. “The degree is centered around giving each student a realistic chance of obtaining a good job right out of the gate.”

    Coursework for Yavapai College’s Associate of Arts and Sciences Degree in Computer Systems and Applications continues in the Fall semester, which begins August 17. Enrollment for YC’s Fall semester is already underway. For more information, or to speak with an advisor, please call (928) 717-7777, or visit: www.yc.edu.

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
