New York City invests $10M to train 40,000 for AI jobs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

New York City is launching a $10 million initiative, the AI Jobs Institute, to train 40,000 lower-income residents for AI-related jobs by 2032. The program, designed and operated by the nonprofit Pursuit, will be based in Queens and aims to connect participants with employers while also guiding workforce policy. This effort comes as New York has surpassed the San Francisco Bay Area in total tech workers, though the latter still leads in AI specialists. AI
