Microsoft has announced a new initiative that will see more than 3 million Brazilian students getting trained in themes around artificial intelligence (AI).
During the Microsoft AI+Tour event in São Paulo, the firm’s chief executive Satya Nadella announced the pro-bono partnership with school networks SESI and SENAI to offer AI training in high school courses. During the announcement, Nadella pointed out that governments should accelerate the adoption of automation but create new capabilities at the same time.
“We have a tremendous opportunity to generate advances in digital technologies – and specifically in AI – to empower each person and each organization in Brazil to achieve more,” Nadella told delegates at the event on Tuesday (12).
