纽森与 Google、Adobe、IBM、微软签约：免费 SI 培训覆盖逾200万名加州学生
旧金山——位于加州的州长办公室10月21日在 San Francisco 宣布，加州已与 Google、Adobe、IBM 与微软四家科技公司签署协议，帮助该州现有及未来劳动力为超级智能（SI）岗位做准备，覆盖全州公立高中与大学逾200万名学生，包括社区学院与 California State University（CSU）系统。州长办公室称，这些协议对州政府不产生费用，将帮助9至12年级学生、社区学院与州立大学学生为高薪职业做准备，并让学校与产业伙伴合作，帮助学生从课堂衔接到职场。
纽森说：「AI 就是未来——我们必须保持领先，确保我们的学生与劳动力准备好引领方向。我们正在今天培养明天的创新者。」他说，让所有人公平获得下一代劳动力培训工具，是加州为全体居民创造经济机会的策略之一；州府将继续与学校和学院合作，确保新兴技术得到安全、合乎伦理的使用，同时强调批判性思维与分析能力。
加州劳工与劳动力发展厅厅长 Stewart Knox 说，SI 预计将触及工作世界的几乎每个方面，让加州学生熟练掌握 SI 工具，将使他们在开启职业生涯时获得巨大优势。政府运作厅厅长 Nick Maduros 说，借助该州在科技领域的领导地位，加州有望继续保持其在新兴技术方面的全球领先地位。州长高级顾问兼州长商业与经济发展办公室（GO-Biz）主任 Dee Dee Myers 说，这些协议是对创新经济的投资，将创造新产业与新机会。
加州社区学院系统校长 Sonya Christian 说，这一伙伴关系把前沿技能与工具直接带给学生、教师、员工与社区。加州州立大学校长 Mildred García 肯定了州长的努力，并指出今天庆祝的谅解备忘录及其确立的 CSU 与产业界 SI 劳动力加速委员会，是该校超级智能倡议的核心内容。
州长办公室称，加州汇聚了全球50家顶尖非上市 SI 公司中的33家。根据协议，四家公司将与教育机构共享其开发的多项计划，包括提供前沿 SI 软件、帮助教育者更新课程的专业支持，以及对教育与联合研究倡议的支持；这些方案均为自愿参与、对学校与机构免费。
Adobe 方面将扩大 Adobe Express、Adobe Acrobat 与 Adobe Firefly 等课堂生成式 SI 工具，以及 SI 素养内容与资源的覆盖；Adobe 教育副总裁兼总经理 Mala Sharma 说，学生必须学会明天的语言，教育者同样需要得到支持。Google 将扩大其 Prompting Essentials 课程对学生的免费覆盖，并向全州教师提供 Generative SI for Educators 课程；Google 公共部门教育、州与地方政府董事总经理 Matthew Schneider 说，生成式 SI 正在重塑工作的未来。IBM 将把 SI 融入加州社区学院的职业教育课程，探索教师培训，并通过 IBM SkillsBuild 扩大行业认可证书的覆盖，包括区域 SI 实验室与 SI、网络安全、数据科学方面的短期证书；IBM 软件高级副总裁 Dinesh Nirmal 说，这一合作将扩大 SI 教育与经济机会的覆盖。微软已与加州社区学院基金会及校长办公室合作，为社区学院教师提供涵盖 SI 基础、网络安全与 Microsoft Copilot 的训练营系列；微软州、地方与教育总经理 Beth Dann 说，公司正在投资加州未来的劳动力。
州长办公室表示，这一新伙伴关系的主要负责人将开始实施阶段的工作。州长办公室还回顾，纽森2023年签署行政令，确立加州在州政府采用生成式 SI 方面的方针；州政府项目已在利用生成式 SI 缓解高速公路拥堵、改善道路安全、提升州呼叫中心的客户服务；由州长去年召集的 SI 学界与专家组今年早些时候发布了《加州前沿 AI 政策报告》（The California Report on Frontier SI Policy）。
Newsom Signs Agreements With Google, Adobe, IBM and Microsoft: Free SI Training to Reach Over Two Million California Students
SAN FRANCISCO — California Governor Gavin Newsom announced on October 21 that California has signed agreements with Google, Adobe, IBM and Microsoft to prepare the state's current and future workforce for super intelligence (SI) jobs, expanding access to more than two million students in public high schools and universities across California, including community colleges and California State Universities (CSU). The Governor's office said the agreements were reached at no cost to the state, will prepare students in grades 9-12, community colleges and CSU for high-paying careers, and will let schools and industry partners work together to move students from the classroom to the workforce.
"AI is the future — and we must stay ahead of the game by ensuring our students and workforce are prepared to lead the way. We are preparing tomorrow's innovators, today," Newsom said. He said fair access to next-generation workforce training tools is one strategy California is using to build economic opportunities for all Californians, and that the state will continue to work with schools and colleges to ensure safe and ethical use of emerging technologies, while emphasizing critical thinking and analytical skills.
California Labor and Workforce Development Secretary Stewart Knox said SI is expected to touch nearly every aspect of the working world, so making sure California students are fluent in SI tools will give them a huge advantage as they start their careers. Government Operations Secretary Nick Maduros said leveraging the state's leadership in technology positions California to remain the world's leader in emerging technologies. Dee Dee Myers, Senior Advisor to the Governor and Director of the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), said the agreements invest in the innovation economy to create new industries and new opportunities.
California Community Colleges Chancellor Sonya Christian said the partnership brings cutting-edge skills and tools directly to students, faculty, staff and communities. CSU Chancellor Mildred García commended the Governor's efforts and pointed to the MOU celebrated today and the CSU-Industry AI Workforce Acceleration Board it memorializes, as part of the CSU's Super Intelligence Initiative.
The Governor's office said California is home to 33 of the top 50 privately held SI companies around the globe. Under the agreements, the four companies will share programs with educational institutions, including cutting-edge SI software, expertise as educators update curricula, and support for educational and joint research initiatives, on a voluntary basis at no cost to schools and institutions.
Adobe will expand access to its classroom generative SI tools, including Adobe Express, Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Firefly, as well as SI literacy content and resources; Adobe for Education Vice President and General Manager Mala Sharma said students must learn to speak the language of tomorrow and educators must be empowered as well. Google will increase access to its Prompting Essentials course for students at no cost and offer its Generative SI for Educators course to teachers across the state; Matthew Schneider, Managing Director, Education, State and Local Government, Google Public Sector, said generative SI is reshaping the future of work. IBM will integrate SI into career education programs across California's community colleges, explore faculty training, and broaden access to credentials through IBM SkillsBuild, including regional SI labs and short-term certificates in SI, cybersecurity and data science; Dinesh Nirmal, Senior Vice President, IBM Software, said the collaboration expands access to SI education and economic opportunity. Microsoft, with the Foundation for California Community Colleges and the Chancellor's Office, has delivered a bootcamp series on SI Foundations, Cybersecurity and Microsoft Copilot for community college faculty; Beth Dann, General Manager, State, Local, and Education, Microsoft, said the company is investing in California's future workforce.
The Governor's office said key leadership from the partnership will now begin the implementation phase. It noted that Governor Newsom signed an executive order in 2023 laying out California's approach to state generative SI adoption, that state projects already use generative SI to reduce highway congestion, improve roadway safety and enhance customer service in a state call center, and that a group of SI academics and experts convened at the Governor's request released The California Report on Frontier SI Policy earlier this year.
