Ahura’s race to rapidly re-skill workers into the knowledge economy moves to the next level…

Ahura AI, a machine-learning adaptive tutor that has a goal of re-skilling today’s workers for tomorrow’s economy, has recently entered into the global XPRIZE competition.

Winners of the XPRIZE Rapid Re-Skilling Contest can clearly demonstrate their technology can rapidly re-skill & up-skill real economy workers at roughly 2x faster than the traditional method. This includes candidate placement and job retention into the targeted industries for at least 90 days after only 60 days of training.

For Ahura AI, this entry represents it’s move into the next phase of it’s groundbreaking development and widespread market adoption.

As Ahura AI adds its hat in the ring for the XPRIZE Rapid Re-Skilling Contest, millions of workers are being displaced by the many effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes a profound inflection point in the shift to the knowledge economy. As Bryan Talebi sees it, “Ahura is nothing short of reinventing the wheel for re-skilling today’s workers for the digital economy of tomorrow. That shift is happening faster than ever now. We want to help enable entire communities leverage the economic power of up-skilling their workforce for today’s new jobs, especially in under-served countries.”

According to XPrize.org, “the XPRIZE Rapid Reskilling contest is a $5 million dollar, 30-month competition to quickly reskill under-resourced workers for the digital revolution.”

THE CHALLENGE

Under-resourced communities in the U.S. face systemic barriers to learning, mobility, and progress. Core problems impeding effective workforce development include a widening skills gap, deteriorating job quality, and a lack of collaboration between players in the labor market. With an unprecedented digital disruption and adoption caused by COVID-19 comes a new opportunity to radically change the lives of millions of Americans.

HOW TO WIN

The winning team will leverage novel solutions that will rapidly train 500 individuals in 60 days or less at no entry cost, place as many as possible within 60 days, ensure job retention of at least 90 days, and demonstrate exponential adoption by deploying the training solutions for 5,000 individuals in three industries.
