It does not appear that this is intended for serious students (such as grad and post grad that TubeSteak mentions). This looks to be a big publicity stunt that will allow companies to pay $25K to say that their executives are "cutting edge", which is ridiculous.
Furthermore, I expect that the term 'University' is being used loosely. I suspect that at the end of something like this one would get a certificate that holds no recognized significance in the academic community.
Personally, I find this very disappointing. I wish that there was something (like what this is supposed to be) that was designed to help encourage novel thought in AI.
