Microsoft launched this week the program “Career Essentials in Generative AI by Microsoft and LinkedIn” As it’s already evident, the initiative is the result of a partnership with LinkedIn and is available for free.
AI has been used in companies and organizations for some time now, but in the last year, it has gained even more strength and represents immense potential for businesses and society. It is necessary to provide access and training for people to become proficient in this technology and expand their employability opportunities for both new job positions and adding more resources to the tasks they perform in their current jobs. In total, five modules make up the course, which focuses on technology-qualified professionals, and its goal is to help develop relevant digital skills in the current job market. The first session, in fact, requires 4 hours of training and covers the following topics:
- What is Generative Artificial Intelligence?
- Generative Artificial Intelligence: The Evolution of Online Reflective Research
- Facilitating Work with Microsoft Bing Chat
- Ethics in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence
- Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
Even if it’s not entirely in different local languages, the program can be accessed with different subtitles. Similarly, there is the possibility to configure and customize the subtitles as well as the speed. Furthermore, you can access exercise files and general notes, as well as questions and answers. Microsoft, by the way, is also promoting an event called “Explained AI.” In it, there will be an explanation of the fundamentals of Generative AI and how it is helping people solve complex problems. The course, on the other hand, will be available on LinkedIn until 2025.
