Intel and the National College of Technical Professional Education (CONALEP) of Mexico have signed a national collaboration agreement that will strengthen the area of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) through curriculum design, development of teaching materials and training of teaching staff in the subject.
Signed at the National Offices of CONALEP by Santiago Cardona, General Director of Intel for Hispanic America; Manuel de Jesús Espino, General Director of CONALEP, and accompanied by Iraís Barreto Canales, Head of the Global Economic Intelligence Unit of the Ministry of Economy, the new alliance will enable 10 state colleges in this system of Upper Secondary Education to begin implementing the Intel AI for Youth program in the states of Nuevo León, Jalisco and Querétaro.
The new program will provide the institution with the necessary resources at no cost for curriculum design focused on AI and Machine Learning processes, which will benefit approximately 25,000 students in the next three years and up to 50,000 in subsequent years.
Through this program, students will learn technical skills such as computer vision, computational language processing, statistical data and various skills such as the ethical use of this technology and the development of solutions to impact society positively.
