Microsoft has pledged more than $4 billion in cash and technology services to
train millions of people in AI use, targeting schools, community colleges,
technical colleges and nonprofits. The company said it will launch Microsoft
Elevate Academy to help 20 million people earn AI certificates. Microsoft
President Brad Smith said the company would "serve as an advocate to ensure
that students in every school across the country have access to A.I.
education." The announcement follows Tuesday's news that the American
Federation of Teachers received $23 million from Microsoft, OpenAI and
Anthropic for a national AI training center. Last week, dozens of companies
including Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and OpenAI signed a
White House pledge promising schools funding, technology and training
materials for AI education.
