Amazon is launching a program called "AI Ready" aiming to teach at least two million people by 2025 on basic to advanced AI skills, The Wall Street Journal reported. The tech giant is trying to fill a gap in AI talent as its generative AI efforts are falling behind rivals, the news outlet added. This training comprises eight online courses that focus on generative AI and target people with both tech and tech-adjacent roles. The courses are free to access online through an Amazon learning website and are available for non-Amazon employees.
AI "is going to be the most transformative technology we encounter in our generation, but it won't reach its full potential unless we really have the workforce ready to embrace it and turbocharge it in a big way," said Swami Sivasubramanian, Amazon's vice president of database, analytics and machine learning.
Amazon (AMZN) is also funding scholarships for student AI courses and said it joined with educational nonprofit Code.org to offer an "Hour of Code" for students to learn about generative AI. The news of the program comes amid a soap opera-worthy debacle at OpenAI, whose board ousted founder and CEO Sam Altman on Friday. His co-founder and head of the board Greg Brockman quit in disgust over Altman's surprise ouster. Altman and Brockman were subsequently and very quickly onboarded at Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) overnight Sunday and now it appears OpenAI's staff is ready to head for the door unless the rest of its board resigns.
