Alabama A&M University has been chosen as one of five institutions in the U.S. to participate in the Amazon Web Services’ Machine Learning University Program, emphasizing a push to expand AI education.
Dr. Margie Vela from Amazon Web Services highlighted the strategic importance of collaborating with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and community colleges to create rigorous, relevant AI learning experiences.
The program aims to address the national shortage of technology talent, providing students with direct pathways to high-demand careers in AI and machine learning fields.
Alabama A&M faculty members will benefit from professional development, lesson-planning support, course playbooks, and AWS cloud credits to enhance classroom instruction and research.
The collaboration aims to leverage Amazon’s resources to lead in AI innovation and workforce development, extending its impact across Alabama and the Southeast region.
Alabama A&M joins Howard University, Delaware State University, City Colleges of Chicago, and Oklahoma City Community College in the broader initiative aimed at bolstering AI education, particularly at HBCUs and Community Colleges.
