This Online Education Firm Is Offering an Artificial Intelligence Training Program - Leena Rao, Fortune

Udacity is partnering with IBM Watson, Didi Chuxing, and Amazon for a new “Nanodegree” program. Artificial intelligence, the machine learning technology that allows “smart” machines to take over human tasks like driving cars or ordering pizza, is quickly becoming the go-to technology for many industries to hire talent for, including health care, auto, and finance. Research firm Markets and Markets estimates the AI market will grow to more than $5 billion by 2020, given the rising adoption of AI across these industries. That’s why online education company Udacity is debuting a new way for workers to learn skills needed to be experts in developing artificial intelligence for the likes of IBM and others. http://fortune.com/2016/10/25/udacity-ibm-amazon-ai/
