Google announces the AI Essentials Course, Google Career Certificates Scholarships, and other initiatives as part of its increased push to advance artificial intelligence (AI) skills in Pakistan.
The goal of the recently released AI Essentials Course is to provide more people with future-ready abilities.
Additionally, Google intends to provide 45,000 scholarships in 2024 through its Career Certificates initiative. Google has launched a project in partnership with the Pakistan Freelancers Association to help independent contractors improve their communication, soft skill, and personal branding while utilising AI capabilities to expedite everyday chores.
With programmes like Google Career Certificates, Google’s Country Director for Pakistan, Farhan Qureshi, voiced optimism about the company’s ability to influence Pakistan’s digital ecosystem.
It is praiseworthy that Google is working to advance artificial intelligence (AI) expertise in Pakistan. A new generation of AI experts in the nation will surely be fostered by the introduction of the AI Essentials course and scholarships. Google wants to equip people with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the AI industry by offering easily available learning materials and financial assistance.
Having a solid understanding of AI concepts, algorithms, and real-world applications is essential as AI continues to transform many industries. We can only hope that this project will encourage more Pakistani professionals, students, and enthusiasts to delve deeper into the fascinating field of artificial intelligence!
