Hi Diana!

It’s a great idea to familiarize yourself with different AI tools as it is a hot topic among consulting firms and clients alike, and will definitely take a significant part of attention from CEOs and other leaders in the coming years. 

Regarding the specific tools from the article, it seems that they are more internal tools, implemented on proprietary data created by these firms, and therefore can’t be accessed from outside the organization.

One thing you could do is to familiarize yourself with other AI tools that are accessible like ChatGPT, Midjourney and others, as they are very similar in concept and use. 

And for your understanding of what those specific tools do, it looks like the article is a great way to understand it. 

Hope this helped, feel free to reach out if you have more questions!

Best,

Yuval

Hi there,

First of all, I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question.

  • First of all, yes, there are tons of certifications about AI knowledge or tools - the key question is whether they will help you or just the vendors of such certifications.
  • Moreover, if you feel the strong need for such a certification, I would highly advise you to reach out to the consulting firms you are interested in and ask directly about preferred certifications or courses.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Diana, 

The problem is that there are too many places now that offer AI-related certifications. 

But 90% of them have appeared overnight. 

So do proper due diligence on whatever source claims to offer this knowledge so you know that you have a reliable certificate. I would actually go for classic institutions (e.g., universities) rather than random websites.

Good luck!
Cristian

Hi Diana,

There are a lot of them! To select the best one for you, first you need to clarify what you want the certification for (e.g., knowledge, credentials, etc.).

Best,

There are lots of certifications. Is there one that is recognized above the others? Not really.

So that is a problem, because none of the certifications has any real value (it's the same value as you simply stating in your CV that you had some training in AI)
