Silicon Valley’s Section School partners with BSI to launch AI Academy in Australia

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.”

When did your organisation last deliver cybersecurity upskilling?

Do your people know enough?

Are you confident your data, your people, and your customers are well protected?

Cybersecurity awareness training creates an essential safety net:

✅ Prevents Data Breaches and Phishing Attacks

✅Reduces Human Error

✅Creates a Security Culture

✅Protects Sensitive Information  

✅Compliance and Risk Management

✅It’s Cost-Effective: Investing in training is less expensive than dealing with the aftermath of a cyber attack, which can include crippling financial losses, reputational damage, and legal consequences.

Running a business can get complex, but simplifying operations doesn't mean compromising on security. Here are some practical tips to streamline your processes and safeguard your business:

🔑  𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐬

Automating repetitive tasks not only saves time but also reduces human error. Consider automating invoicing, data backups, and system updates to keep things running smoothly and securely.

🔒𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐌𝐅𝐀)

Strengthen access control by requiring MFA for logins. This simple step adds an extra layer of security, making it harder for unauthorised users to gain access.

📊 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬

Use integrated software solutions to manage various business functions in one place. This reduces the risk of data breaches and helps keep your operations organised.
