Amazon has recently launched an ambitious new initiative that is geared towards providing free AI courses to 2 million people globally by the year 2025. This aimed at empowering individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in a rapidly evolving technological landscape, and to prepare them for the jobs of the future.
The “AI Ready” program is a crucial initiative that aims to equip individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to learn and apply cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence technology. Through the program, participants will have access to a range of courses and practical learning opportunities that will help them acquire in-demand skills and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the field of AI.
The courses cover a wide range, from an introduction to generative AI to the practical application of building generative AI systems.
Moreover, AI Ready consists of three core components:
- 8 new “Free” AI courses:
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is providing an excellent opportunity to learn about Artificial Intelligence (AI) through its 8 comprehensive online courses. These courses are designed to equip learners with a strong foundation in AI concepts, practical application, and machine learning. Moreover, AWS has included workshops that cater to non-tech backgrounds and coding courses for developers.
- Generative AI Scholarship:
This generative AI course is open to 50,000 high school and university students who are interested in specializing in this field. The course is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of generative AI concepts, techniques and applications. Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a certification that demonstrates their potential and skill.
- AI Coding Lessons:
To promote the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) education, Amazon has teamed up with Code.org, a non-profit organization, to introduce the concept of AI to students ranging from kindergarten to the 12th grade. The students will be able to gain a deeper understanding of AI, its applications, and its impact on various industries.
Additionally, Amazon is introducing an exciting new initiative called “Hour of Code” specially designed for students. With this program, students will be able to create their own virtual music using popular songs as their base.
