Intel and Udacity announce edge AI nanodegree program for developers

Intel and Udacity announced that their Intel Edge AI for IoT Developer Nanodegree program is open for enrollment. The collaboration, announced on Thursday, aims to train developers in deep learning and computer vision to help facilitate the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge. "We didn't build this program just for hobbyists; we built this for practitioners," said Alper Tekin, CPO at Udacity. "At the end of these courses, you have to write actual code that works in a production environment." Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing were areas Udacity had its sights set on because of the technology's popularity, as well as the skills gap that exists in the field.
