Narayan AmmachchiGoogle introduced a new training program designed to equip startups with advanced AI skills.
The curriculum, developed by Google’s People + AI Research team, provides a comprehensive approach to integrating AI into business strategies.
To encourage participation, Google is offering startups up to US$350,000 in cloud credits in addition to access to broad array of AI tools.
Google will also provide mentorship to help startups increase sales and expand their networks.
Several US-based startups have already benefited from the program. JustAir, for example, uses AI to monitor air pollution, while Cambio leverages the technology to decarbonize commercial real estate.
The program will be conducted primarily online, allowing startups from anywhere in the world to participate.
Google is working with other industry leaders to promote AI adoption globally. It recently partnered with Banco Santander to offer free AI training in Spain and Latin America.
Going forward, Google will be particularly interested in investing in startups that are addressing issues like disaster prevention, environmental sustainability, advanced manufacturing, public safety, water management, workforce development and economic opportunity.
