Google Invests $27M to Enhance AI Skills Across Europe

The tech giant's initiative aims to bridge the AI skills gap and promote equitable access to AI education.

Google has pledged 25 million euros ($26.98 million) to foster AI skills in Europe, focusing on vulnerable and underserved communities.
The investment includes launching 'growth academies' for businesses and expanding free online AI training courses to 18 languages.
The initiative is part of Google's broader AI Opportunity Initiative for Europe, designed to ensure AI benefits are accessible to everyone.
Research indicates that the benefits of AI could exacerbate existing inequalities, prompting Google's commitment to equitable AI education.
The move also addresses potential challenges from stringent EU regulations on AI, aiming to prepare businesses and individuals for compliance.
