Join the World Association of AI Academies ( WAAA) 

This website offers opportunities to become a WAAA Member. Once membership is approved, suitable organisations may apply to become  WAAA Ambassadors to earn income by recruiting AI academies/ educator organisations  to join WAAA  .( see detailed descriptions of the requirements and benefits of these elsewhere on this website ) WAAA Members are also eligible to join the sister organisation International Associationof AI -agent Developers (IAAD) and its affiliate  programme where they can earn additional commissions by recruiting  individuals to join IAAD .  ( Many AI trainees may want to join IAAD anyway since IAAD  will be their professional body so by going though your referral- if you are an IAAD member - they can get a 10 % discount on their first year membrship fees . Larger AI academies with adequate resources and extensive network of contacts may opt to apply to become WAAA country coordinators for their country. This gives access discounted membership fees , immediate income earning possibilities and many other  benefits. They need to  complete the coordinator  application form  for WAAA Management review before applying for WAAA membership.  

WAAA is being developed as part of a Global  network to provide a  Forum for discussion and collaboration  and to lobby governments to implement National AI training programmes in their countries .  For those who become WAAA members, the website will  offer many additional benefits by providing access to a restricted “member services” section possibly including  ( under discusion but not confirmed yet )     30-40 practical  AI Entrepreneurs training courses and resources ( developed by UN agencies , Big Tech and Academics / educators )) These will  be distributed free to WAAA member academies in the countries that establish National AI Entrepreneurship Training Initiatives (NAETI). This may also include free or  highly subsidised access to Frontier models and Big Tech AI  tools and cloud services for any WAAA member academy participating in a National ai entrepreneurship Initiative ( NAETI ) 

These courses will be focussed at developing relevant products and services related to the 17 SDGs and to  serve the needs the 15-20 different disadvantaged groups  so that indigenous groups, subsistence farmers,rural communities etc can all benefit from AI .  These will be practical  training courses that include creating real  local products and services  as part of the course assessment.  , Trainees graduating from the courses should be capable of developing their own local  products or services or franchising and then adapting and deploying  an overseas solution for local application  

The WAAA will be managed by a small secretariat of  experts
