Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet, has announced a three-year, $1 billion initiative to support artificial intelligence education and research at U.S. universities and nonprofit organizations. The investment will provide access to advanced AI tools, cloud computing resources, and specialized training programs designed to help students, faculty, and researchers build expertise in AI development and application. The program aims to expand AI literacy across diverse academic disciplines and strengthen the nation’s talent pipeline in emerging technologies.
