The University of Waterloo is partnering with Cohere, a Canadian-founded artificial intelligence (AI) company and global leader in sovereign AI, to develop new ways for students to learn how to lead AI transformation inside organizations.

Through the partnership, Cohere will support Waterloo’s Future of Work Institute in developing a new AI Transformation and Change Management certificate. The program will equip students with the practical skills needed to help workplaces adopt AI securely, responsibly and in ways that address real operational challenges.

“AI adoption is not the point, but solving problems is,” says Dr. Edith Law, Executive Director of the Future of Work Institute and Associate Professor of Computer Science. “Through this certificate program we will train students to think critically about bottlenecks, processes and challenges in organizations, and tackle these problems by designing socio-technical solutions with organizations. We envision that these solutions will likely involve both tech and non-tech innovations and leverage the best of AI in the mix.”
