Chandler-Gilbert Community College is the first school to join a network of AI laboratories sponsored by Dell and Intel.

Intel says it's funding $50 million in grants to colleges and universities in Ohio, where it recently announced plans to build new chip factories.

The schools are to be part of an "AI Incubator Network" supported by Intel, Dell and the the American Association of Community Colleges.

Intel said it plans to expand the "AI for Workforce" program to 18 community colleges this year and an additional 50 colleges next year.
