General Description of the AI tool

"Pioneers for AI" aims to create pioneer innovators that can understand AI, innovate using it and help co-create AI policies and solutions. This is happening by
– training citizens, professionals and companies in AI
– helping them network and innovate
– creating support networks
The programmes are tailored around the needs of each target group.
The innovation aspect is that "Pioneers for AI" is not just a training programme on AI: It is an initiative that creates AI capacity in organizations, and AI innovators across many fields, focusing on support for starting initiatives.
