"The government has launched a series of free AI training courses designed to help people learn how to use the technology at work. The online lessons give advice on things such as how to prompt chatbots or use them to assist with admin tasks. Many of the courses are free, with others subsidised, and the government aims to reach 10 million workers by 2030 - calling it the most ambitious training scheme since the launch of the Open University in 1971."
"But the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) has warned workers will need to know more than "just how to prompt a chatbot" as the workforce adapts to the growth of AI. "Skills for the age of AI can't be reduced to short technical courses alone," said Roa Powell, senior research fellow at the IPPR. "Workers also need support to build judgement, critical thinking, physical skills, leadership and the confidence to use these tools safely.""

Tech companies helped design courses; 14 provide virtual badges. Courses vary from 20 minutes to several hours and are accessible to any adult in the UK. The NHS, British Chambers of Commerce and Local Government Association have committed to encourage sign-ups.
