The Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA) has announced the commencement of registration for the online training program called the Future Intelligence Programmer Program in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.

The program's first phase aims to train 5,000 male and female students, with a broader objective of training 30,000 students in the intermediate and secondary grades on AI technology principles.

Scheduled to start on September 3, the program's first phase will run for ten days. Registration for the program, which started on Tuesday, will continue until August 21. The program encompasses an introduction to AI, as well as instruction in smart car programming, machine learning, computer vision, and other relevant subjects that enhance students' understanding of AI technology.

Upon completion of the program, participants will receive certificates from SDAIA and the Ministry of Education as recognition of their accomplishments.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed to support the development of quantum technologies, saying at the opening of an IBM data center on Tuesday that investment in the sector was crucial for the future of Europe's biggest economy.

"Our goal is clear: to be global leader in quantum technologies," said Scholz, adding Germany had invested 2 billion euros ($2.22 billion) on quantum technology since 2020.

"This is the basis of our economic success and prosperity," he said at the opening of IBM's Quantum European Data Center in Ehningen, a roughly 290-million-euro investment. The center will allow users in Europe and elsewhere to access services for cloud-based quantum computing research, Reuters reported.

Quantum computers could operate millions of times faster than advanced supercomputers. So far, the United States and China have led the technology.

Other projects in Germany include the joint development of quantum processors by Infineon and eleQtron GmbH.
Scholz said Germany was focused on semiconductors, AI, pharmaceuticals and bio- and climate technologies.
"These are the areas we need to lead," said Scholz.
