Amazon has launched a new program called “AI Ready” with the goal of providing free AI skills training to two million people worldwide by 2025. The company recognizes the growing demand for AI talent and aims to make AI education accessible to anyone with a desire to learn. As part of this initiative, Amazon Web Services will also offer AI scholarships to over 50,000 underrepresented students through its partnership with Udacity. Amazon has introduced the “AI Ready” program to address the need for AI talent in today’s workforce. With 75% of employers struggling to meet AI hiring demands, Amazon believes that providing free AI skills training is crucial to unlock the full potential of AI. Upon course completion, students earn a certificate from Udacity to showcase their knowledge to future employers.
