Artificial Intelligence or AI is quickly changing the way we live and work. To make sure everyone benefits from these changes, NVIDIA is helping cities, states and universities all over the United States teach and use AI. Their goal is to help people of all backgrounds learn about AI, get good jobs and help their local economies grow.
In Utah, the University of Utah has teamed up with NVIDIA and other companies to create the state's first AI factory. This project is making the university's computers much more powerful, with a fifty million dollar investment focused on better healthcare and important scientific research. Utah is also training teachers and students in AI through NVIDIA's educator programs. Other states like California, Mississippi and Oregon are following Utah's example and working with NVIDIA to improve AI education and support new businesses.
Rancho Cordova, a city in California, is building its own local AI and robotics ecosystem in partnership with NVIDIA and a research group called Human Machine Collaboration Institute. The city is making sure colleges, local businesses and students have the tools they need to learn AI skills. By attracting new AI businesses, Rancho Cordova is planning to invest new revenue back into local jobs and education, creating a positive cycle of growth.
At the college level, schools like Miles College in Alabama are working with NVIDIA to make sure every student knows how to use AI. The college is updating its classes so that both students and teachers learn essential skills for the future. Almost half the staff are already teaching with AI, and most of the school’s research relies on it. Other colleges and universities across the country are joining these efforts to prepare their students for the high demand for AI skills.
NVIDIA is also working with organizations like California College of the Arts, Black Tech Street, Black Women in Artificial Intelligence and StudyFetch to make sure more people have access to AI education. With StudyFetch, for example, high school students across the country can take NVIDIA Academy courses even before graduating.
All of these programs share the same mission: to help every student and community succeed as AI becomes an important part of daily life. By working together, NVIDIA and its partners are making sure everyone has a chance to be part of the future of technology and innovation.
