The True Post (Web News) Global technology company Google has announced that it will invest $1 billion in education, professional training and research related to artificial intelligence (AI) at American universities.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and its parent company Alphabet, said in a blog post that the initiative aims to provide artificial intelligence and career training to every American college student through the “AI for Education Accelerator,” and this training will be completely free.
According to Sundar Pichai, more than 100 colleges and universities have joined the program and this training will be provided over the next three years. The goal is to promote AI awareness, research scholarships and cloud computing resources for students at universities across the country. The program will also provide students with access to Google’s latest AI tools, including the Gemini chatbot.
Pichai also said that as part of this investment, students will also be provided with “Google Career Certificates.” The universities participating in the program include several public universities in Texas, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, including the University of Michigan, Ohio State University and the University of Virginia. Through this investment, Google is further advancing its “Gemini for Education” project, under which AI facilities are being provided to students and teachers at no additional cost. It should be noted that more than 80% of the 100 largest universities in the United States are already using “Google Workspace for Education”, which provides educational institutions with access to the best AI tools.
