Description
Governments worldwide are working on creating comprehensive national AI strategies to create sustainable, inclusive and positive impact on their citizens, industries and overall societies. However, the AI skill crisis is recognized as the biggest barrier for wider AI adoption. Five of the top ten emerging jobs require specific AI skills.
This panel discussion will share how Dell Technologies and Intel have partnered to implement a comprehensive AI readiness program in collaboration with K12 and post-secondary education systems worldwide. In North America, this program focuses on increasing the awareness of AI and building the technical confidence of learners to apply AI skills independently to empower learners in an inclusive way.
