点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Durham College is proposing to advance the capacity of its Hub for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence**for Business Solutions (the AI Hub). Artificial intelligence, in its many applications, is transforming how**management decisions are made, products are developed, services are delivered, and customer engagement**occurs. Training of artificial intelligence systems is replacing programming and intelligence-based products**and services are rapidly becoming the expected norm for consumers and business users alike. While small- and**medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) recognize the potential of artificial intelligence to improve their businesses,**and the competitive requirement for adoption, many have neither the resources nor expertise to achieve their**desired goals. Durham College's AI Hub will bridge this gap and strengthen local and regional economic**performance by collaborating with SMEs from across Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area to plan,**develop, and implement state-of-the-art artificial intelligence systems and practices into business solutions. The**AI Hub will assist SMEs to create products, solutions, and processes that have commercial value and enable**industry partners to scale, compete, grow revenue, and expand their workforce through artificial**intelligence-enabled systems and management practices.**Durham College has a solid track record of contributing to the local and regional economy through successful**applied research projects, and launched the AI Hub in 2017 with a provincial funding investment. With the**support of this IE Grant, Durham College will be able to enhance the capacity of its AI Hub by engaging more**faculty, students, and industry partners in collaborative projects to improve business innovation, develop talent,**and contribute to local technological advancement.**3**Form 103 (2011 W), page 3 of 7**Second Language
