The use of AI is already changing how businesses are operating, and in turn, the workforce skillset is starting to change as well. Our AI Academy focuses on equipping executives and professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to elevate their AI skills, enhance efficiency, and automate repetitive tasks in the workplace.
Why Use the AI Academy?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently conducted a major survey on the AI skills that the economy of Asia Pacific (APAC) region will need over the next five years. One of the major things that their report identified was a critical gap between the demand for AI skills by the employers and availability of AI training for the workforce.
Given the major shortage of workers with AI skills, the only way forward is for organizations to invest in developing their own AI talent by growing their own in-house AI capabilities. Failure to do so risks falling behind rivals already considering investing in AI training programs.
Every organization is unique, every industry sector is different, and every market has its own dynamics. In an AI-driven business landscape, off-the-shelf generic AI skills simply won’t suffice. With us you can also commission on-demand, tailor-made executive AI training programs developed to meet the specific needs of your organisation.

What Do We Teach?
There’s often some confusion about what AI can do and the differences between Generative AI and more traditional Machine Learning.
