Like previous industrial revolutions, AI is predicted to preside over a period of business disruption, recovery, transformations, and overall economic and employment growth. Contrary to conventional thinking, AI is expected to generate 2 million in net jobs gains versus losses by 2025, according to the analyst firm Gartner.
NVIDIA has reached tens of thousands of individuals seeking to extend their knowledge of AI into professional careers through the Deep Learning Institute. The DLI is at the forefront of promoting new skills and opportunities in an evolving world of technology.
Offering free online courses and instructor-led workshops at conferences and onsite at businesses across the globe, the DLI provides remote and local access to education in deep learning and accelerated computing. Through this coursework, people can earn certificates for demonstrating real-world understanding of concepts and best practices.
DLI partnerships include an educator network that consists of experts from NVIDIA as well as the online educational providers Coursera and Udacity. We’re also working with Microsoft to teach deep learning for robotics.
NVIDIA is working with Udacity to help educate students in robotics through the online learning school’s nanodegree programs. The collaboration focuses on robotics hardware, including our own Jetson TX2, which is offered at a discount to eligible students.
“Deep learning is affecting a broad range of industries, and we’re seeing huge demand for people with the skills to apply the new technology effectively,” said Mark Ebersole, director of the DLI.
