The Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence has been launched in San Jose to attract new startups to Silicon Valley, particularly focusing on artificial intelligence innovations. Initiated by Plug and Play, the center will provide resources for 40 startups annually to develop their ideas at a low cost. Local leaders, including Mayor Matt Mahan, emphasize the goal of rejuvenating San Jose's status in the tech sphere, while also promoting AI education among youth. The center highlights collaboration with local institutions to inspire future generations in STEM fields.
"We now have an accelerator that's a platform for startups to be able to test their ideas, work closely with the larger companies and even city hall or governments."
"Quite frankly, San Jose used to be the center of Silicon Valley. I think it little bit moved north, but we want to bring it back to South."
"We feel if the kids are inspired at a young age, they will go toward mathematics and engineering."
