Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been at the centre of Devoteam’s training offer since 2019, with the inauguration of the Luxembourg AI Academy in partnership with Microsoft and INAP. This initiative paved the way for IT professionals to access technical training, with a particular focus on the algorithmic and mathematical approaches underlying AI solutions. Vanessa Mameri, General Manager of the Devoteam Training Center, pointed out that these training courses, initially intended for engineers and professionals wishing to implement machine learning or deep learning techniques, had evolved over the course of technological progress.
AI plays a key role in transforming and improving processes, and the current challenge for businesses is to gain an in-depth understanding of the topic to effectively deploy AI solutions in their environment. To address this challenge, the AI Academy has expanded its offer to make it accessible to a more diverse audience. Vanessa Mameri stressed that strengthening data management and processing skills, as well as understanding the various technological solutions available, are essential to take advantage of the opportunities offered by AI.
Recent EU regulations on the use of AI highlight the need for organisations to ensure that their solutions comply with the AI Act. Vanessa Mameri highlighted not only the opportunities, but also the risks associated with the use of AI, underlining the importance of guiding users and decision-makers in the ethical and responsible use of these technologies.
Devoteam’s training offer in partnership with Microsoft Azure and Open AI consists of ‘fundamental’ training aimed at acquiring basic AI skills and understanding the services offered by the Azure platform. Two advanced training courses are also offered, one focusing on AI solutions such as machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing and conversational AI, while the other focuses on designing and implementing solutions within organisations.
The training offer also extends to managers and business teams with training for decision-makers, addressing the opportunities, challenges, risks and ethical aspects of AI. Another training focuses on generative AI solutions, including ChatGPT, offering keys to effectively use these conversational agents.
In conclusion, the gradual integration of AI at the heart of organisations requires skills development,continuous learning and innovation to take full advantage of it. Vanessa Mameri stressed that training plays a key role in seeing AI as an opportunity rather than a threat.
