Next-Gen AI, Mark Cuban's Way » Dallas Innovates

Serial entrepreneur Mark Cuban believes artificial intelligence will prove more impactful than PCs, the internet, and wireless communication. So, in 2019 he founded the Mark Cuban Foundation AI Bootcamps program in Dallas, with a focus on teaching underserved high school students the concepts and skills associated with artificial intelligence and machine learning. Today, the program is helmed by Director Yvette Medina and delivers that curriculum nationwide. Medina says the program aims to do the "heavy lifting" to recruit students and train employees. Last year, free bootcamps for 9th- to 12th-graders were hosted in more than 20 U.S. cities.
