You can now do an AI Crash Course and other upskilling courses led by AI experts from Silicon Valley to help you bridge the skills gap in AI technology.
Simon Dewar, CEO of BSI Digital Academy said that the AI Academy courses offers practical, blended and digital approaches, giving you access to both live, and on-demand forms of learning that is facilitated by experts from the likes of Google, Meta, Apple, and Amazon.
A recent McKinsey report projects global AI investment to exceed $500 billion annually by 2025. How can you jump on this bandwagon?
Tony Surtees, a Silicon Valley veteran, compared the current AI revolution to the rise of computers in the 80s and 90s. "If you didn't want to learn computers in the 80s or 90s, it meant eventually you weren't as skilled as the person next to you who learned Microsoft Office," Surtees said.
Damian Kassabgi, another industry expert, emphasised the need for re-skilling and training in the face of technological advancements. "We don’t believe AI is any different to other technologies that have come before it in relation to reskilling people and jobs changing, while at the same time the country is still in full employment. There’s going to need to be re-skilling and training."
Greg Shove, a prominent figure in the AI industry, said: "AI will not take your job – but someone that understands how to use AI better than you just might," Shove cautioned.
The Digital Academy will provide the necessary tools to build AI literacy and capability. "The academy exposes you to the latest in AI thinking, training, and support tools to build your AI literacy, capability, and more targeted skills for specialist roles and functions.”
