Students will spend much of the program working on projects and learning from technology executives and entrepreneurs rather than taking traditional tests and completing homework.EMPLOYEES AT AI COMPANIES BACK BERNIE SANDERS BILL CRACKING DOWN ON DEVELOPMENTThe approach represents a Silicon Valley experiment in how education could change as AI reshapes the skills companies seek from workers and founders."In our estimation, the AI revolution is going to be as transformational to jobs as the Industrial Revolution was to the agricultural society that came before it," said Ben Horowitz, co-founder and general partner at a16z.

The companies will provide resources and expertise, including software, hardware and computing power, according to the academy.Each student is expected to receive more than $50,000 in computing credits and other technology resources, along with a $5,000 travel and exploration budget. Courses will cover areas including AI systems, sales, fundraising, finance and startup formation.Gagan Biyani, who co-founded online learning company Udemy and later founded Maven, is leading the academy as founder and CEO.
