Google to help Ukrainians master AI with free AI Essentials course

2500 Ukrainians will be able to take the course for free Google AI Essentials on the Coursera platform. Participants will gain knowledge about artificial intelligence and will be able to get certified by Coursera.

Today, artificial intelligence is not just a trendy technology, but a tool that is actively changing the labor market. In Ukraine, 73% of people were forced to change their profession due to the war or economic changes. Despite fears of job losses, AI opens up new opportunities for career growth and business development. Google aims to help Ukrainians adapt to the new conditions and use artificial intelligence to their advantage.

The AI Essentials course is suitable for both those who are just starting to get acquainted with artificial intelligence and professionals who want to expand their knowledge and learn how to use AI in their work. The course program explains the basic principles of AI, teaches how to formulate queries effectively and apply artificial intelligence to automate tasks.

What will the participants get?

• Access the AI Essentials course in Ukrainian on Coursera for free.
• Certificate from Coursera upon successful completion of the course.
• Practical skills, including working with artificial intelligence, creating queries, and automating tasks.
• Additional materials, including webinars by experts who will explain how to use AI in work and everyday life.
