 Google AI Research Division to Issue PhDs from Google?

 The University of Washington is planning on offering a PhD in artificial intelligence and machine learning at the end of this year. This will be an unprecedented move for Google, which has never offered such a degree before. It would mark the first time that any major tech company offers its employees a formal education in computer science.

 According to reports, the university plans to offer two types of degrees — one with a focus on deep learning, or “neural nets,” while another focuses more on traditional computing. Both are expected to cost around $80,000 per year each.

 While it may seem like a strange move, it’s not entirely unprecedented. In fact, there have been several other universities who have started offering doctorates in AI, including Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, and New York University. However, none of them were as big as Google.

 What makes this announcement so interesting is that, according to Reuters, the new program could help boost the number of people working in AI. Currently, only about 10,000 researchers work full-time in the field. That’s far less than what many experts believe should be needed if we want machines to become smarter
