DBS, Amazon Web Services to upskill staff' AI and ML skills

The employees will experience artificial intelligence and machine learning through a gamified learning process.

DBS has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to launch the DBS x AWS DeepRacer League. This aims to train their employees’ digital skills in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), a press release revealed.

The bank’s staff are slated to learn the basics of AI and ML by participating in a series of hands-on online tutorials before putting their new knowledge to the test by programming their own autonomous model race car. These ML models will then be uploaded onto a virtual racing environment where employees can experiment and iteratively fine-tune their models as they engage each other in friendly competitions.

Through this league, DBS expects at least 3,000 employees, including the bank’s senior leadership, to learn new AI and ML skills this year, the press release added.
