Leverage AI in Our Technology Programs
At triOS College, we integrate AI tools into our technology programs to keep you ahead in the tech industry and enhance your skills with practical AI applications.
How AI is Used in Technology Programs
What is AI?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an evolving technology that attempts to simulate human intelligence using computer programs. At the heart of AI is Machine Learning (ML), which correlates large amounts of data to learn the relationships between different data elements. AI and ML products can be used by both IT professionals and software developers to save time on certain tasks.
How do IT professionals leverage AI on the job?
Most IT professionals use AI to obtain or generate information that they would have previously obtained online using a search engine, such as Google. This could include generating summaries for reports and documentation, generating scripts (e.g., PowerShell, BASH), and generating infrastructure configuration templates (e.g., Ansible playbooks).
How do software developers leverage AI on the job?
Nearly all modern development tools now have AI-based auto-suggestion, code generation, and documentation abilities. Software developers can choose to autofill in certain lines of code, as well as generate the initial structure (called stub code) for a new program to give them a solid starting point for development. Additionally, software developers can leverage AI tools to add the necessary documentation to existing code to save time.
How do we approach AI in our programs?
While AI can be used to save time, all AI-generated content must be reviewed in depth by someone with content expertise to ensure that it provides the necessary functionality, and in a way that adheres to corporate standards, security, and software/copyright licenses. Thus, you must first have a solid understanding of IT administration or software development to leverage AI effectively in those fields.
At triOS, students do not learn how to create new AI technologies. Instead, we leverage AI to generate content throughout several courses in the program, but only where appropriate, and in ways that mimic the use of AI in the workplace. Additionally, all AI generated content is thoroughly reviewed before use to ensure functionality, security, copyright adherence, license compatibility, and quality.
