Computing giant also launches $10m scholarship program to improve ML diversity.
Getting to grips with Machine Learning (ML) technology could soon be much easier thanks to a new service from Amazon Web Services. The company has launched Amazon SageMaker Studio Lab, a free, no-configuration version of its SageMaker program that lets users build and deploy ML models, in an attempt to break down barriers to the technology. AWS is also launching a new $10m AWS AI & ML Scholarship Program specifically aimed at those interested in ML, as well as looking to improve diversity and accessibility across the technology space. Unveiling both launches at the company’s AWS re:Invent 2021 event in Las Vegas, Vice President of Amazon Machine Learning at AWS Swami Sivasubramanian highlighted how the news could help train the next generation of ML developers.
