Launching our first OpenAI Certifications courses
AI will unlock more opportunities for more people than any technology in history—helping companies run more efficiently, empowering people to turn ideas into reality, and creating new kinds of jobs. More than 800 million people already use ChatGPT each week to build skills, find work, and solve real-world problems. AI is being incorporated into more workplaces(opens in a new window), and research(opens in a new window) shows workers with AI skills earn about 50% more than those without them. We also know AI will be disruptive, leaving many people unsure which skills matter most or where to start. And while OpenAI can’t eliminate that disruption, we can help people everywhere prepare to navigate it successfully.
