达勒姆学院提议提升其商业解决方案人工智能应用研究中心(AI Hub)的能力。人工智能在其许多应用中正在改变**管理决策、产品开发、服务交付和客户参与**的方式。人工智能系统的培训正在取代编程和基于智能的产品**，服务正在迅速成为消费者和企业用户预期的规范。虽然中小型企业(SME)认识到人工智能改善其业务的潜力**以及采用人工智能的竞争性要求，但许多企业既没有资源也没有专业知识来实现他们**期望的目标。达勒姆学院的AI Hub将通过与达勒姆地区和大多伦多地区的中小企业合作，规划、**开发最先进的人工智能系统和实践，并将其实施到商业解决方案中，从而弥合这一差距，并加强当地和地区的经济绩效**。**AI Hub将帮助中小企业创造具有商业价值的产品、解决方案和流程，并使**行业合作伙伴能够通过**人工智能启用的系统和管理实践**扩大规模、竞争、增加收入和扩大劳动力。**达勒姆学院通过成功的**应用研究项目为当地和地区经济做出贡献的良好记录，并于2017年启动AI Hub，并获得省级资金投资。在IE赠款的**支持下，达勒姆学院将能够通过吸引更多的**教职员工、学生和行业合作伙伴参与合作项目来增强其人工智能中心的能力，以改善业务创新，培养人才，**并为当地的技术进步做出贡献。**3**表格103(2011 W)，第7页**第二语言

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
