Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how people work and do business all over the world — including in Asia-Pacific. But many people still don’t have the skills or training to use AI tools in their jobs or communities. That’s where a new fund is stepping in to help.

Google.org and AVPN have selected 49 nonprofit organizations across the Asia-Pacific region to receive support from the AI Opportunity Fund. These groups will offer free or low-cost AI training to people who need it most — including small business owners, workers with disabilities, and caregivers.

The training will be tailored to local needs. For example, one organization in India will help rural entrepreneurs, while another in Singapore will support migrant domestic workers. The goal is to make sure more people can understand and benefit from AI — no matter where they live or what their background is.

In addition to the first round of funding, Google.org is investing another $12 million to grow the program. This includes:

• $10 million to help train 720,000 workers and 100,000 small businesses across the region.
• $2 million to support 10,000 nonprofits with tools and training so they can use AI to improve their work.

Why does this matter? A recent report showed that while many people in Asia-Pacific are excited about AI, only 15% have received any training. And most don’t even know such training is available.

This fund is trying to change that — by making AI training more accessible, especially for people who are often left out of the digital economy.

By supporting workers, small businesses, and nonprofits, the AI Opportunity Fund hopes to make sure that everyone in Asia-Pacific has a fair chance to benefit from AI.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.

Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
