UW Credit Union chips in so Wisconsinites can stream a free AI basics series

The Universities of Wisconsin has partnered with UW Credit Union to offer free education on artificial intelligence (AI) understanding.
A new online course was introduced to explain generative AI.
The course consists of seven brief video modules, approximately two minutes each, available to anyone in Wisconsin.
The video series focuses on explaining AI, its current uses, and its opportunities and challenges.
The free video training series is part of a broader resource hub hosted on the Universities of Wisconsin webpage, which offers further AI-related courses and programs.
A report by Anthropic’s economic index indicates that AI is reshaping jobs rather than replacing them, giving an advantage to those who understand and use AI.
The biggest benefit highlighted is the time efficiency and increased productivity in tasks like writing and coding due to AI assistance.
Experts emphasize that learning AI skills now could provide a significant advantage as workplaces evolve.
