As the world is rapidly being taken over by Artificial Intelligence, only those with a tinge of creativity and ability to adapt will survive this new wave. While we are not alluding to a total wipeout of jobs, steering clear of the tsunami that is AI by being aware and upskilled in these times could certainly be beneficial.
The fast-paced development of AI has also piqued the interest of many. We recognise that many are yet to fully comprehend the merits and demerits of AI. Today, there are millions of resources available on AI making it difficult for anyone who wishes to learn more about them, acquire new skills, or simply even use some of these exciting tools.
Well, cast your worries aside, we have listed some free courses offered by the biggest names in technology. Here is a brief catalogue of courses that will not only give you an understanding of the concepts but may also end up with a new skill that can probably lead to a career boost.
