OpenAI and Grab have announced a new regional programme called GO Forward with AI, aimed at helping 30,000 partners build practical AI skills across Southeast Asia. The programme is designed to bring hands-on AI training to a wide network of Grab partners, according to the announcement from OpenAI.
The initiative focuses on practical, usable AI skills rather than abstract concepts, reflecting a broader push to make AI literacy accessible to working professionals in the region. The announcement does not specify the exact curriculum, timeline, or which countries are included beyond the Southeast Asia region.
As the only source for this news is OpenAI's own announcement, there are no independent details or differing accounts to compare. The stated scale — 30,000 partners — is the key figure, but the long-term impact of the programme remains to be seen.
