Google has pledged 25 million euros ($26.98 million) towards initiatives aimed at promoting artificial intelligence (AI) literacy across Europe. In an announcement made on Monday, the tech giant revealed its intention to support social enterprises and nonprofits in their efforts to provide AI training to individuals who stand to benefit the most.
In addition to providing financial support, Google plans to host a series of "growth academies" to assist companies utilising AI in scaling their operations. Furthermore, the company has expanded its offerings of free online AI training courses to cater to learners in 18 different languages.
Adrian Brown, executive director of the Centre for Public Impact, which collaborates with Google on the nonprofit scheme, highlighted the potential for AI to exacerbate existing inequalities, particularly concerning economic security and employment. Brown expressed optimism that the programme will equip individuals across Europe with the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to navigate the AI landscape, ensuring inclusivity and opportunity for all.
This commitment follows Google's recent announcement of a $1 billion investment in constructing a data centre just outside of London, reflecting the company's efforts to meet the escalating demand for internet services in the region. Situated on a 33-acre site acquired by Google in 2020, the data centre will be located in Waltham Cross, approximately 15 miles north of central London, according to a statement from the Alphabet-owned company.
