Google launches an initiative on artificial intelligence in Europe, the AI Opportunity Initiative, announcing an allocation of 25 million euros to support training.
The tech giant will start by providing 10 million euros to equip Europeans with new skills "to avoid being left behind".
Google has opened applications for social enterprises and nonprofits that could help reach those most likely to benefit from the training.
The company will also run a series of "growth academies" to support companies using AI to grow their businesses, and will expand its free online AI training courses to 18 languages.
In Italy, last July, Google already launched the Social Innovation Fund on AI, allocating 3 million euros available to non-profits, academic and research institutions, civic bodies and social enterprises.
The AI Opportunity Initiative launched at this time is in collaboration with the UK-based non-profit foundation, Center for Public Impact.
“Innovation has always been a team sport and AI is no exception. We are committed to playing our part, working together with EU governments, civil society, academia and businesses to find the way right to introduce this technology safely and for everyone", explains Matt Brittin, EMEA president of Google, in an official post.
