O’Reilly, the premier source for insight-driven learning on technology and business, today announced the launch of the O’Reilly AI Academy, a new offering that provides access to hundreds of generative AI-focused books, live events, on-demand courses, and more to enable enterprise workforces to build the necessary skills to put GenAI tools to work and improve productivity. The latest feature will be available to current subscribers who have full access to the O’Reilly online learning platform and will also be offered as a standalone subscription for all organisations interested in upskilling their workforces on the new technology.
Over the past year, generative AI and its capabilities have taken the world by storm, with 85% of C-suite executives worldwide reporting plans to increase their spending on AI and GenAI in 2024, according to a recent survey from BCG. However, an overwhelming majority of workers have yet to integrate this new technology into their skill sets. Despite most leaders agreeing that their workforces will need to be reskilled in GenAI over the next three years, only 10% of workers are currently trained on GenAI tools—and nearly 60% of leaders have expressed limited confidence in their own executive teams’ proficiency in GenAI.
The learning tracks available in the O’Reilly AI Academy are supported by an additional 300 pieces of content tailored by role and industry to cater to teams across security, data, finance, marketing, and project management and within sectors like government and healthcare. These include everything from books and audiobooks to live and on-demand courses, short-form text, and video, so team members can focus on exactly what they need to know, in the way they learn best.
Learners who successfully finish O’Reilly AI Academy learning tracks have the opportunity to earn completion badges and certificates to promote their GenAI skills. The badges can be embedded in email, across social media, on LinkedIn, and more.
