The global workforce is today facing a critical period of jobs and skills instability. Oxford University researchers claim that 47% of today’s jobs will disappear in the coming years. The Future of Jobs 2018 report, by the World Economic Forum (WEF), anticipates that 75 million jobs will be displaced by AI, robotics and automation, but suggests that 133 million new jobs may be created as an outcome of the shift in work between humans and machines. The net resulting 58 million new jobs require a human workforce which possess proficient digital skills. Pursuant to such predictions, the WEF has recently launched the ‘Reskilling Revolution’, aimed at providing better education, new skills and better work to a billion people by the year 2030.
In line with this initiative and as a proactive (rather than a reactive) measure, the Erasmus+ ‘Digital Skills for the Artificial Intelligence Revolution’ (DS4AIR) project aims at designing and developing an online self-paced training course on digital skills for the Artificial Intelligence Revolution in order to reskill vulnerable adults whose jobs are threatened by the new technologies, hence ensuring their survival and prosperity in the job market. For more information visit www.ds4air.com.
Eight self-paced 90-minute chapters which assume no prior knowledge or experience of working with the themes covered and specifically designed for the place of work and in view of the Fourth Industrial and AI Revolutions. You can earn individual certificates for each chapter and an overall certificate for the whole course, once you successfully complete all chapters.
