Talking about the courses, Thirumala Aarohi, SVP and Head – Learning, Training & Assessment, Infosys says, “We strongly believe that AI competencies will provide young candidates and professionals with a competitive advantage in a dynamic and demanding job market.
Notably, AI has taken the tech world by storm, especially after the launch of ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot by OpenAI. AI has become an integral part of people’s personal and professional lives in the past few months. While some see AI as a threat to jobs, many professionals believe that AI will not replace humans, and instead, people will learn to live with AI. Furthermore, those who acquire the skills to work with AI will excel in the future. Hence, the new AI curriculum from Infosys definitely aims to facilitate AI transformation and develop the skills needed in the years to come.
