Launching our first OpenAI Certifications courses

AI will unlock more opportunities for more people than any technology in history—helping companies run more efficiently, empowering people to turn ideas into reality, and creating new kinds of jobs. More than 800 million people already use ChatGPT each week to build skills, find work, and solve real-world problems. AI is being incorporated into more workplaces⁠(opens in a new window), and research⁠(opens in a new window) shows workers with AI skills earn about 50% more than those without them. We also know AI will be disruptive, leaving many people unsure which skills matter most or where to start. And while OpenAI can’t eliminate that disruption, we can help people everywhere prepare to navigate it successfully.

Last September, we laid out our vision for expanding economic opportunity⁠ through the new OpenAI Certifications and the OpenAI Jobs Platform initiatives. Now, we’re taking the next step by launching a pair of new courses that will provide practical AI skills: AI Foundations, launching in ChatGPT through pilot programs with a group of leading employers and public-service partners, and ChatGPT Foundations for Teachers, available today in Coursera⁠(opens in a new window).

AI Foundations focuses on providing workers with hands-on, real-world training on how to use  today’s AI tools, while the course for teachers helps educators build AI expertise and put it to work in the classroom. With the launch of these courses, we’re accelerating our push to certify 10 million Americans by 2030.

AI is a powerful productivity tool that can help people do more, learn faster, and unlock new kinds of work. But those gains only materialize when people have the skills to use the technology and when employers can find workers who know how to apply it. Our goal is to enable them to do so.

We’re building fast, learning with partners, and expanding carefully—and we’re just getting started.
