Google spends $1 billion on AI training for US universities

GD&TĐ - Google has just announced a plan to fund one billion USD over three years to provide training and artificial intelligence (AI) tools to higher education institutions and non-profit organizations in the US.

More than 100 universities have signed on to the initiative, including large public systems like Texas A&M University and the University of North Carolina, according to Reuters.

Participating schools will receive financial support and technology resources. The support package includes cloud computing credits for student training in AI and research support for related topics.

In particular, the project will provide free access to Google's paid AI tools such as an advanced version of the Gemini chatbot. This is considered a step to help students access advanced technology during the learning process.

“The long-term goal is to expand the program to all accredited nonprofit universities in the U.S.,” said James Manyika, Google’s senior vice president. “In addition, the company is considering similar plans in other countries to promote the universalization of AI knowledge and skills globally.”

The move is part of Google’s efforts to maintain its leadership in AI and address the growing skills gap between the labor market’s needs and the workforce’s ability to meet them. The close cooperation with universities promises to create a new generation of technology-savvy workers, ready to participate in the digital economy .
