Alabama A&M University was selected as the regional lead institution for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) through the Amazon Web Services-Machine Learning program (AWS).

AAMU was chosen one out of five colleges nationwide. The program allows the university to expand access to Amazon’s industry-leading curriculum.

With Machine Learning University (MLU), Amazon is committed to increasing access and empowering administration and faculty to incorporate AI and ML learning into their instruction. This will allow undergraduate students to engage in research, hands-on training, and peer collaboration.

Now serving as regional lead, AAMU will have access to Amazon’s industry-leading machine learning curriculum and computing resources through Amazon SageMaker Studio Lab, which is the same content used to train Amazon’s engineers.
