OpenAI's certification program and AI jobs platform

Fidji Simo, the CEO of Applications at OpenAI, recently revealed the company's intentions to introduce a new certification program for AI fluency as well as the OpenAI Jobs Platform, which is intended to link companies with AI-skilled people. The specifics: With specific tracks for small enterprises and municipal governments looking for talent, the portal will connect employers with AI-savvy job prospects. OpenAI created certification programs that teach various degrees of AI fluency directly within ChatGPT in collaboration with Walmart and other organizations. According to Simo, the program is building on its previously released OpenAI Academy tools with the aim of certifying 10 million Americans in AI fluency by 2030. Tech leaders are gathering in Washington this week to talk about workforce development, which aligns with the White House's AI literacy initiatives. By developing AI tools that revolutionize jobs and constructing infrastructure to retrain displaced workers, OpenAI is establishing itself as both a disruptor and a solution supplier. Additionally, the move puts OAI up against LinkedIn, which is controlled by Microsoft, in the talent market, giving the two cold partners another front to battle over.
