Deloitte has announced the launch of the Deloitte AI Academy which is designed to help bridge the technology talent gap by developing and re-skilling today’s workforce with immersive training in the AI capabilities required for the digital economy, according to a statement.
“The Deloitte AI Academy bridges AI technical competencies — AI-enabled data engineering and AIOps, machine learning algorithms, computer vision, conversational AI, and deep learning/neural networks — with domain knowledge in customer and marketing, cyber, risk and compliance, tax, audit and assurance, application engineering and ERP and technology services,” said Irfan Saif, Deloitte U.S. AI co-leader. “Our approach to AI training and education, combining AI skills with business domain knowledge, can help build the next generation of business-ready AI talent.”
“It’s our responsibility as a society and as business leaders to develop new talent with AI skills – not only for the engineers and data scientists, but also for every role in an organization, no matter how technical,” said Dan Helfrich, chairman and CEO, Deloitte Consulting LLP. “Through the Deloitte AI Academy we are endeavoring to develop future leaders with a higher level of AI proficiency for the benefit of our clients and society at large.”
“At Deloitte, we combine world-class business knowledge with a full command of technology, working together with our clients to engineer their future and help them get there,” said Nitin Mittal, Deloitte U.S. AI co-leader. “Companies across all industries are scrambling to secure top AI talent from a pool that’s not growing fast enough. The AI Academy will be instrumental in helping to close the AI skills gap and enabling companies to fully deliver on the promise of AI.”
