Mastering AI: Which online training course should you choose?

Artificial intelligence continues to grow in influence, and promises to be at the heart of our lives for years to come. Innovations such as Google's Gemini, Microsoft's Copilot and OpenAI's ChatGPT illustrate its impact and presence in our daily lives.

With today's technological advances, understanding the challenges of AI and its possibilities, training for it and knowing how to adapt to it are essential to transforming challenges into real opportunities. No matter what the field. AI is proving indispensable thanks to its ability to rapidly analyze large quantities of data and personalize it.
Some business sectors have understood this, but it is still not enough. Indeed, a study by OpenAI reveals that over 80% of jobs will experience a significant transformation of their tasks due to AI. It is vital for organizations to train their employees. AI is no longer an option, but a necessity if they are to remain competitive and innovative.

At Alegria.group, we are aware of the global transformation that is taking place, and are keen to make artificial intelligence accessible to all. It's a true cultural revolution that's impossible to escape. That's why, in this article, we're going to do our best to shed some light on the subject, and try to give you some pointers to a better understanding of how artificial intelligence works, by offering you a few online training courses. 

But what exactly is AI?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the equivalent of putting a human brain into a machine. This brain would enable it to come as close as possible to our way of thinking and acting. The aim is to make it sufficiently autonomous to solve problems and understand all types of language.

To keep feeding it, we use "machine learning", which means that the more elements we give it, the more the AI improves. There's also the more advanced "deep learning", which uses networks that mimic our brains to process information. 

And since 2023: Generative AI.

Thanks to these methods, AI is improving day by day, becoming more and more ingenious.
