On Thursday, 30 teams of students and industry professionals tested their machine learning models on a makeshift racetrack at Red River College Polytechnic’s Manitou a bi Bii daziigae campus. It was the first time the college worked with Amazon Web Services, Amazon’s cloud computing branch, for such an event. The post-secondary sector is grappling with artificial intelligence and how to use it. Kirk Johnson, the college’s dean of business, information technology and creative arts, asked how to stay ahead of it and use it as a tool. Teams used Amazon Web Services DeepRacer program to create a machine learning model guiding an autonomous car.
