MANILA, PHILIPPINES — The world of work is constantly changing – from the technologies used to do jobs to the skills needed to progress in one’s career. We are now in an era driven by rapid advances in automation and artificial intelligence (AI), with new promises and accompanying challenges.
The skills we need to grow professionally will have to evolve too. Based on LinkedIn’s latest data, the fastest-growing AI-related skills among professionals in 2022 all hint at the emergence of generative AI, which is a form of AI that has a wide range of applications, including creating text, images, and audio as well as writing code.
With a national artificial intelligence (AI) roadmap in the Philippines in place, and more recently, a new Bill seeking the creation of an AI development authority, the country is reportedly planning to accelerate the adoption of this disruptive technology to reap economic benefits.
To help professionals and companies acquire the skills they need in the new world of work, LinkedIn will release 100 LinkedIn Learning courses on generative AI in various languages for free over the next three months beginning March 16, 2023. The complete list of courses, available here, covers:
- Beginner courses such as Responsible AI: Principles and Practical Applications and Foundations of Responsible AI and intermediate and advanced courses like Hands-On PyTorch Machine Learning and Advanced AI: Transformers for NLP using Large Language Models.
- Courses relevant to those in the tech industry, including Next Generation AI: An Intro to GPT-3, Power BI: Integrating AI and Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity.
