Artificial Intelligence: Preparing Your Career for AI (Skillshare)

Whether you realize it or not, we are currently entering the era of artificial intelligence. AI technologies are radically transforming our lives, our careers, and our world. However, most of us have not yet learned how to leverage the power of this new technology.

In this free course, you’ll learn the five things you should be doing today to prepare your career for the coming wave of AI-enabled automation.

  1. Educate yourself about AI
  2. Upgrade your career for AI
  3. Invest in an AI-first economy
  4. Use AI responsibly and ethically

Adapt to what comes next or become obsolete
The future belongs to those who are willing to invest in AI now. Don’t get left behind!

In this final project, you will apply the skills you have learned in order to develop an action plan to help you prepare your career for AI. You will develop this action plan by completing the following steps.

Step 1 - Download the Quick Reference Guide
First, please download and review the quick-reference guide for this course. You can use this sheet for the remaining steps in the project as a quick reference for the key takeaways in this course.

Step 2 - Explore Additional Resources
Next, I encourage you to explore the following optional learning resources to go dig deeper into any of the topics that we discussed in this course. All of these resources are highly recommended but they are all optional.

Step 3 - Take the Practice Quiz
Test your knowledge to ensure that you've learned the key takeaways from this course by taking this short online quiz.

Step 4 - Complete the Practice Exercise
Work through the attached practice exercise to think more deeply about how the recommendations in this course can be applied specifically to your career. The exercise will help you to generate ideas that will be used in the final step in this project.

Step 5 - Review the Example Action Plan
Download and review the attached Action Plan (Example) document to see what a finished action plan should look like. Please note that this document is just an example to give you ideas for your own action plan -- it should not be used as your actual action plan.

Step 6 - Develop an Action Plan
In this step, you will develop an action plan to help prepare your career for AI. This step of the project incorporates all of the previous steps that came before it. Simply download and complete the Action Plan (Template) document. This document will walk you through all of the steps for creating an action plan to achieve your career objective.

Step 7 - Share with Others
Finally, share your action plan with your peers on SkillShare. This will help strengthen your commitment to achieving your goals by making them public. In addition, it will provide more examples to help others develop their own action plans as well.
