OpenAI Introduces Academy, Plans To Distribute First $1M For New App Development
In Brief
OpenAI unveiled Academy for investing in builders and teams that use AI to address issues and bolster economic growth in their communities.
Artificial intelligence research organization OpenAI introduced OpenAI Academy, a new initiative aimed at investing in developers and organizations that utilize AI to address challenges and promote economic growth within their communities. This program recognizes that developers and mission-focused organizations play a vital role in solving pressing local issues, and access to advanced technologies like AI can boost their efforts toward sustainable development.
Many countries have rapidly expanding technology sectors filled with skilled developers and new organizations. However, access to advanced training and technical resources often remains insufficient. By investing in the development of local AI talent, economic growth and innovation can be spurred across various sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, education, and finance.
The OpenAI Academy program aims to bridge this gap by providing training and technical guidance. Participants will receive support from OpenAI experts as they leverage AI for their initiatives. Additionally, the program will offer API credits, initially distributing $1 million in credits to enhance access to OpenAI models, enabling them to create and deploy new applications.
It will also promote the establishment of a global network of developers aimed at collaboration, knowledge sharing, and fostering collective innovation. At the same time, it plans to maintain partnerships with philanthropists to support organizations addressing challenges directly within their communities.
OpenAI Expands Global Impact With AI Education And Support Initiatives
OpenAI is dedicated to advancing research and development in artificial general intelligence (AGI) and generative models, gaining recognition for its chatbot technology, ChatGPT.
In the past year, OpenAI has witnessed impacts from investments in AI education, resources, and community building. For instance, KOBI, a winner of the OpenAI prize at The Tools Competition, leverages AI to assist students with dyslexia in learning to read. Similarly, I-Stem, one of the winners of the turn.io Chat for Impact contest, utilizes AI to improve access to content for blind and low-vision individuals in India, facilitating their employment opportunities.
To further assist developers worldwide, it has funded and published a professional translation of the Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) benchmark, which assesses AGI intelligence, into 14 languages.
