Verizon to Launch Portal With AI Training From IBM, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, Coursera and OpenAI

Reuters reported on September 23, 2026 that Verizon will launch a portal offering AI training from IBM, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, Coursera and OpenAI. The original item lists only the participating providers and does not disclose the launch date, course content, target audience or pricing. The report was carried by moomoo, with Reuters credited as the original source.

The event places a telecom operator, general-purpose AI model vendors and an online course platform in the same training distribution channel, which could shift how employees and general users access AI skills and is relevant to how AI talent supply is organized. On the available evidence, the disclosure is a single headline-level item with no course count, user reach, launch date or geographic scope, so its actual scale and implementation cannot be assessed. Corporate AI training supply could expand from single course platforms to a telecom operator channel, affecting how enterprises buy training and where employees learn. Content from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, IBM and Coursera would be aggregated in one portal, potentially changing distribution and brand exposure for AI training content.
