Google has launched the AI Opportunity Initiative for Europe to provide artificial intelligence (AI) skill training. The initiative aims to help people take advantage of opportunities in AI, as Europe is well-positioned to lead the way in this field. With a €25 million ($26.9 million) fund to support the initiative, Google has partnered with European Union governments, civil society, academics, and businesses to provide advanced AI training to local startups and underserved communities. The goal is to ensure that these groups are not left behind as the use of AI in the workplace continues to grow. Google’s latest AI initiative in Europe follows their previous program called Grow with Google, which offered free training to address the EU’s digital skills gap. The AI program will train professionals in applying AI to scenarios in the workplace. Applications are now open for social enterprises and nonprofits to partner with Google and receive bespoke and facilitated training on foundational AI. Google has also expanded its AI foundational course to 18 languages and enhanced the Google Career Certificates program to offer practical experience in applying AI in professional scenarios. Adrian Brown, executive director of the Centre for Public Impact, emphasized the importance of the new program, stating that it will help people across Europe develop their knowledge, skills, and confidence around AI, ensuring that no one is left behind.
