The need for a strong AI-informed workforce is exemplified by the American AIInitiative (https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/accelerating-americas-leadership-in-artificial-intelligence/). Taking a convergent approach, the project primarily aims to integrate core literacyand advanced skills at the intersection of SSR Computing, High Performance Computing (HPC),and AI into the educational curriculum across multiple STEM disciplines.
