Apple ramps up with AI training at Developer Academy
Training tomorrow’s talent today is always super-important in tech, but as artificial intelligence (AI) grows in importance the industry really needs to raise up talent in the field. This is suppose is why Apple’s Developer Academy has announced a new core curriculum of AI training for students.
Apple will train all Apple Developer Academy students and mentors on technologies and tools that take advantage of AI, the company said. Apple is also offering the training to previous ADA alumni. Starting in fall the new core curriculum will be provided across 18 Developer Academies in Brazil, Indonesia, Italy, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and the United States.
Students will learn from guided curriculum and project-based assignments that include assistance from hundreds of mentors and more than 12,000 academy alumni worldwide.
What to expect
Beginning this fall, every Apple Developer Academy student will learn from a custom-built curriculum that teaches them how to build, train, and deploy machine learning models across Apple devices.
Courses will include the fundamentals of AI technologies and frameworks; Core ML and its ability to deliver fast performance on Apple devices; and guidance on how to build and train AI models from the ground up. Of course, they will also be working with Xcode 16 and Swift Assist, both practical illustrations of how AI can optimize developer workflows.
What Apple said
“At Apple, we see coding as a universal language and believe in empowering developers, creators, and entrepreneurs across the world with tools and technologies that will allow them to create phenomenal experiences,” said Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. “With the introduction of curriculum dedicated to AI and other new technologies, we’re excited to see what students will build to share with their communities and the world.”
