Amazon wants you to work in AI. More specifically, they want to train you in the skills necessary to perform one of these jobs.
In a blog post on Monday, Amazon announced: “Ready for artificial intelligence”, the company’s fresh initiative to provide two million people with access to free AI skills training by 2025. In total, the company is offering eight fresh classes for free, ranging in experience levels and goals. Additionally, AI Ready aims to offer a fresh Generative Artificial Intelligence course to over 50,000 high school and college students. The company has also established fresh partnerships Code.org teach students about generative artificial intelligence.
But back to the free classes: Whether you’re fresh to the world of AI or an experienced person looking to improve your skills, Amazon believes it has AI Ready classes for you. (There are over 80 other AI classes and resources hosted by Amazon on AWSbut not all of them are free.)
Classes vary in length, experience level and topic, and the list covers many different exploit cases. For example, I can imagine Amazon’s “Introduction to Generative AI” course being useful to anyone who wants to gain a basic understanding of how generative AI works.
Business and non-technical AI classes
Amazon has three courses for people who want to learn AI skills for business as well as other non-coding situations:
Programming and technical classes
For anyone interested in learning more about the technical side of artificial intelligence, Amazon has five classes to offer.
