Webinar | Managing an AI training programme for people

AI is the most powerful productivity tool ever created. It has revolutionised the way organisations operate. However, to leverage AI effectively, your people must be trained to use it competently and responsibly. Employee AI training is not just a nice-to-have—it’s becoming a legal requirement in many jurisdictions. It is a crucial component of AI governance. In the EU, the law obliges organisations to train humans who will operate or use AI systems to ensure, to the best of their ability, a sufficient level of AI literacy. Some companies (like Standard Bank) are making it compulsory for all employees to be trained on AI risks and ethics.

AI literacy ensures a return on investment and is required by law

Creating and managing a structured employee AI training programme is crucial for two reasons.

1. To ensure your staff can maximise the benefits of AI while using it responsibly and reliably.
2. To meet legal and regulatory requirements that govern the use of AI systems (article 4 of the EU AI Act).

But how do you go about designing and implementing an effective employee AI training programme? You could rely on employees to teach themselves or turn to self-proclaimed experts, but these approaches often fall short. Join us for this webinar to learn how to train your employees to make them AI literate. This webinar is not AI training for users of AI.

What you’ll learn

In this webinar, we’ll guide you through the process of creating a comprehensive and practical AI training programme that meets your organisational needs and legal obligations. This webinar is not just about eLearning, but about all methods, formats, or styles of training to raise literacy.
