As AI transforms industries at every level, one challenge remains front and centre: the widening AI skills gap. To help organisations upskill their workforce at scale, General Assembly has launched its new AI Academy—a bold initiative designed to equip professionals across all functions with the tools and training needed to thrive in the age of artificial intelligence.
Unlike technical AI certifications aimed solely at developers or data scientists, the AI Academy focuses on real-world application and cross-functional enablement. It offers learning tracks tailored for business leaders, marketing professionals, product managers, operations teams, and more—ensuring that AI fluency isn’t siloed but democratised across the enterprise.
The AI Academy includes:
- Modular, role-specific learning pathways
- Hands-on labs and case-based learning
- Executive and leadership education on responsible AI adoption
- Ongoing skills development aligned with evolving industry needs
By bridging technical knowledge with business impact, General Assembly is helping companies embed AI readiness deep within their culture. It’s a strategic move to ensure AI isn’t just understood, but effectively implemented across the organisation.
As the demand for AI-literate talent grows, initiatives like this help future-proof both individuals and businesses—closing the gap not just in skills, but in opportunity.
