Google’s philanthropic arm will hand two public sector educational organizations a combined $15 million. The funds will be used to set up training in responsible AI skills for US government staff.
Google.org announced not-for-profit organization Partnership for Public Service would receive $10 million to help establish the forthcoming Center for Federal AI. The facility was created to provide education for workers at every level of responsibility within federal government agencies and is due to open in the first half of 2025.
CEO of the Partnership for Public Service Max Stier described AI as today’s electricity, fundamental to the public sector and society. The funding, he added, would allow it to expand its current programming and research.
The remaining $5 million will be given to an organization called InnovateUS, which provides workshops and online training tailored for government workers. It is backed by a consortium of federal, state, and local authority partners. InnovateUS will use the funds to expand its current offering, targeting the education of more than 100,000 public sector workers across 30 states.
