Cathie Wood to launch public education program on artificial intelligence in El Salvador

Ark Invest founder Cathie Wood will deliver the opening remarks for El Salvador’s new Urban Center for Welfare and Opportunity (CUBO) Artificial Intelligence (AI) program. The program is a public education initiative led by the Salvadoran government. According to El Salvador’s Bitcoin Office, the program will provide university-level AI courses to students and professionals, following the country’s hugely successful CUBO Bitcoin and Lightning Network Developer Program. The program will leverage industry experts to provide AI education to the public. “As El Salvador accelerates its transformation into the region’s ultimate tech and financial powerhouse, CUBO AI will provide the country’s students and professionals with the tools to dominate the frontier of AI,” the El Salvador Bitcoin Office wrote in a March 23 X (Twitter) post. El Salvador continues to attract cryptocurrency businesses and foreign direct investment as the Central American country positions itself to become a regional tech and digital finance hub.
