Indian multinational corporation Wipro, in collaboration with the National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom), will be setting up a platform to train students in emerging technologies -- artificial intelligence (AI), data science, internet of things (IoT) and cyber securities. Wipro has decided to take up the initiative under its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme, TalentNext, that aims to enhance the quality of engineering education in India by training college faculties and academic leaders, who will later train students. The platform, set up by Wipro and Nasscom, will be looking to train 10K students from over 20 engineering colleges in India. With this platform, the duo wants to build a talent pool of students certified by Wipro and Nasscom and provide them with greater job opportunities. Wipro's Chairman Premji, in a press release, said that the platform will bring together content and people, alongside the focus on curation and learning at one's own pace.

There is a discrepancy in the quality of education worldwide, and it shouldn't come as a surprise that artificial intelligence (AI) education isn't an exception. While some students enjoy small classrooms with fancy electronic whiteboards and qualified instructors, others don't even have electricity. The world is digitally and economically divided, especially in the case of AI education. There are numerous barriers preventing students from acquiring AI skills besides a foundation in mathematics. Many underserved communities lack resources.

Carnegie Mellon University is revamping the way it teaches artificial intelligence. The university's computer science department debuted Tuesday its CMU AI initiative intended to better prepare students for entering the workforce. The goal is to train students to build complex software systems or powerful robots that utilize multiple different AI technologies, whether it be machine learning tech to help those systems learn from data or technology that helps robots see and perceive the world similar to humans.
