Expanding AI literacy with the American Library Association and community-based programs
Microsoft and the Public Library Association, a division of the American Library Association, are launching free AI literacy and skills training for public library workers and their patrons. The initiative, Building AI Skills and Agency Through Libraries, delivers on Microsoft's earlier Community-First AI Infrastructure commitment to invest directly in local training. It aims to help trusted local institutions such as libraries serve as entry points for AI learning, skills development and opportunity.
