IBM has pledged to train two million learners in AI by 2026, focusing on underrepresented communities to close the global skills gap. They will collaborate with universities, offer AI training to adults, and introduce generative AI coursework through IBM SkillsBuild. Executives estimate that 40% of their workforce will need AI reskilling. IBM’s efforts aim to provide essential AI skills, create new opportunities, and address the urgent workforce needs. Free online courses and tailored learning paths will be available, leading to recognized credentials. This commitment builds on IBM’s goal to skill 30 million people by 2030.
