Knowledge workers, employees with technical expertise and high-level executives alike can benefit from training to grasp the nascent tech.
Across industries, businesses are laying out plans to train employees to use generative AI and AI tools effectively.
Mercedes-Benz intends to invest more than $2.2 billion by 2030 to train employees in AI and grow data skills.

In response to mounting interest, vendors have released instructional videos and courses targeting skill gaps. In July, AWS launched a generative AI primer course for executives that comprised five videos covering foundational elements, historical context and use cases of the technology.

The other day someone mentioned a friend who had recently retired. Then they paused. “Well… semi-retired,” they said. “He doesn’t really like calling himself retired.” I understood immediately. Not because I know the man. I don’t. But because I recognised what he was trying to protect. His relevance.
