The Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii), a non-profit focused on advancing AI research and training, has received a $5M Google.org grant to boost AI literacy among Canadian postsecondary students. The funding will support a national consortium of 25 postsecondary institutions that will embed new AI curriculum into existing programs, with the goal of reaching 125,000 students and accelerating workforce readiness. “From colleges and polytechnics to U15 Canadian research universities and Indigenous PSE institutes, we’re ready to support educators with access to curriculum resources across faculties, programs and domains,” said Amii CEO Cam Linke.
