AWS launches program to boost AI and tech competency for small and medium businesses

Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently launched a new program aimed at helping small- and medium-sized businesses build competencies in areas like artificial intelligence (AI), the cloud, and other skillsets to be more competitive. ""Small businesses often don’t have the technical resources, depth, or maybe experience; think migrations or AI is a perfect example; they’re not necessarily going to have a data scientist on staff,"" said Ben Schreiner, U.S. head of business innovation for SMB at AWS. ""So our partner network for AWS is incredibly important to helping those customers be successful, realizing whatever their strategy is, or even experimenting with some of these new technologies.""
