Amazon's recent unveiling of the "AI Ready" initiative signifies a major leap forward in democratizing generative artificial intelligence (AI) skills. Launched on November 20, 2023, this comprehensive program aims to equip two million individuals worldwide with the essential capabilities for lucrative careers centered around generative AI by the year 2025. This initiative goes beyond mere training, incorporating a scholarship component and a strategic collaboration with Code.org to bolster the development of generative AI expertise.
Amazon's commitment to fostering AI knowledge encompasses diverse target groups, including developers, technical professionals, high school students, and university undergraduates. The initiative comprises a set of courses, scholarships, and collaborative efforts to propel individuals into the burgeoning field of generative AI.
Amazon, through its AWS Skill Builder platform, offers a range of free generative AI online courses tailored for both seasoned professionals and beginners. Some of the courses include:
Foundations of Prompt Engineering: A deep dive into the fundamental principles of prompt engineering.
Low-Code Machine Learning on AWS: Exploring the implementation of machine learning with a low-code approach on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform.

These courses cater to the needs of developers and technical audiences, ensuring a robust foundation in generative AI technologies.
Amazon allocates a substantial $12 million for the AWS Generative AI Scholarship, benefiting 50,000 high school and university students globally. The scholarship encompasses a holistic learning experience, providing access to free courses, hands-on projects, technical tutors, mentorship from industry experts, and resources for career development.
In tandem with Code.org, Amazon is set to host an Hour of Code during Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 4–10). This event is designed for K-12 students and educators, offering an introductory session to coding and AI. AWS's cloud computing capabilities power Code.org, and Amazon's commitment to the Hour of Code includes providing free AWS Cloud computing credits worth up to $8 million.
These initiatives complement Amazon's existing suite of free cloud computing classes, with the overarching goal of equipping 29 million individuals with the requisite cloud computing skills by 2025. Additionally, Amazon's educational AI and machine learning content library boasts over 80 free and low-cost training courses.
