Exclusive: Amazon commits $100 million to bridge inequalities in tech education
Briefly

"Education and opportunity should be available to everyone. Unfortunately, if you look at it, the global demand for education technology is increasing, but many organizations in the edtech sector that serve learners from underserved communities, they do not have the resources they need to leverage cutting-edge technologies like cloud and AI."
"With this initiative, we aim to support those organizations that are working directly with underserved communities, breaking down the barriers that prevent equitable access to digital education and technology."
"This new initiative will allow projects to scale. Code.org, for example, plans to expand its AI teaching assistant, which is powered by Amazon Bedrock."
"Swami Sivasubramanian, vice president of AI and data at AWS, believes that AI is the most transformational technology of this generation and will fundamentally change every industry, asserting the importance of dismantling barriers to technology."
