Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the Future of Work

Artificial Intelligence Education and Training

At Cleveland State University’s Division of Continuing and Extended Education, we believe Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a transformative force in the future of work, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance productivity, creativity, and innovation. To fully harness its potential, we must prioritize preparing ourselves, our students, and our workforce to use AI responsibly and effectively. This means developing courses and training programs that focus on building technical skills and emphasize ethical understanding, critical thinking, and adaptability. By fostering a society-wide appreciation of AI's capabilities and challenges, we can reduce uncertainty, ensuring that individuals feel empowered rather than threatened by AI's integration into various industries. Approaching AI with a positive and proactive mindset will allow us to embrace its benefits while safeguarding against misuse to shape a future where human-AI collaboration thrives.
