With generative AI being the hype these days, leading companies like Google, AWS, Microsoft and Infosys do not want the world to be left behind to use it. These companies realised that generative AI being completely new to most of the workers around the world, took responsibility to come up with the content that will help the general public to upgrade themselves so that they can apply that knowledge at their workplace.
Moreover, according to the World Economic Forum, AI skills represent the third-highest priority for companies’ training strategies, right alongside analytical and creative thinking. It is pretty much true that ‘AI might not replace you, but a person who uses AI could.’ Every firm or institution wants the work to happen at a faster pace, and if AI is able to assist with them then people shouldn’t shy away from it.
Given that the field of AI can be bewildering for many individuals, these companies aim to address this knowledge gap by introducing new courses and tools. Here is the list of courses launched by various leading companies to upskill their workers:
Microsoft
Recently, Microsoft launched a new AI Skills Initiative to help people and communities around the world learn how to harness the power of AI.
Microsoft’s AI Skills Initiative comprises several new offerings aimed at making AI education more accessible. These include free courses developed in collaboration with LinkedIn, including the first-ever Professional Certificate on Generative AI.
Additionally, Microsoft even launched Generative AI Skills Grant Challenge, an open global grant challenge organised in partnership with data.org to explore innovative approaches for training individuals in generative AI. Microsoft is also providing increased access to free digital learning events and resources, allowing anyone to enhance their understanding and proficiency in AI.
