Coursera offers classes so workers aren't blindsided by AI taking their jobs

Join top executives in San Francisco on July 11-12, to hear how leaders are integrating and optimizing AI investments for success. Coursera is offering more classes and degrees so that global labor market won't be blindsided by the rise of generative AI and remote work. As businesses adopt generative AI to improve customer offerings and productivity, it will also create an unprecedented demand for reskilling – with up to 49% of workers having half or more of their tasks exposed to large language models. "Today, we're excited to announce several new content offerings, ChatGPT-powered platform innovations, and expanded immersive learning experiences to better serve our learners and educators worldwide," said Jeff Maggioncalda, CEO of Coursera, in a blog post. To meet the growing demand for AI skills in the workforce, Coursera is increasing its selection of AI-related courses, including a ChatGPT Teach-Out (University of Michigan) and AI for Good Specialization (DeepLearning.AI).
