Amazon to host AI ready courses in a bid to improve AI Talent Pool

But wait, there’s more! Amazon is dropping over $12 million in Udacity scholarships, handing out golden tickets to over 50,000 high school and university students from underrepresented corners of the globe. Swami Sivasubramanian, the AWS VP of data and AI, spilled the beans, saying their goal with AI Ready is to level the playing field of AI education. They want to make sure anyone with a spark of curiosity can dive into the world of AI, tackle the big problems, and maybe even score a cool gig in the AI game.
