Many times, when new technologies emerge in our world, people often feel a fear of losing something whether it’s their beliefs, lifestyles, or ways of working. This fear of technology isn't new—it’s been around since the Industrial Revolution. However, history has shown that humans eventually adapt and learn to benefit from the technologies of that time. Today, we live in a world that is surrounded by artificial intelligence or AI. Many innovations, modern devices, and tools are powered by intelligent AI technology. As these technologies evolve, our lives and work are changing faster than ever before. So learning about AI even at a basic level, you’ll gain an understanding of how it works and how to harness its power. With this foundational knowledge, you'll be able to develop and improve AI tools to enhance your work and your organization. Moreover, you’ll gain the skills to stay ahead of the curve and maximize the advantages of the latest AI advancements in our rapidly changing world.
