Andy Williamson, Co-founder, CEO, and Director of AI Strategy at ONLC, emphasized the program’s significance: “AI literacy is crucial for young adults. The next generation will need to navigate and steer AI technology in the right direction for the benefit of humanity. Our grant program aims to facilitate this by providing access to high-quality AI education.”
