Why is AI training important?
As AI transforms the workplace, one thing should not change: an organization’s commitment to doing business the right way. Training on proper AI use is critical now more than ever.
As AI tools become more integrated into everyday work processes, it’s essential for employees to understand how to use these tools responsibly, efficiently, and ethically.
Proper training helps mitigate risks, ensure compliance with data privacy laws, and avoid potential biases in AI decision-making. It also empowers employees to leverage AI to boost productivity, creativity, and decision-making, while avoiding pitfalls like over-reliance on automated systems.
New legislation like the EU AI Act requires organizations – and their people – to use AI responsibly and ethically, in accordance with such regulations.
