AI isn’t for someone else. If you’re in business, AI is for you.

Employers increasingly want to utilize AI, but employees and candidates lack the skills. Now, anyone can skill up on AI with new Trailhead learning.

Artificial intelligence (AI) news is everywhere! Whether you’re baffled by AI or becoming increasingly knowledgeable each day, one thing is for sure: AI is the future of work, and Trailhead, Salesforce’s online learning platform, is here to help you skill up.

As you hear about how new advancements in AI will enhance your life, naturally, you may have fears about what the future holds or even whether you might lose your job to AI. However, the outlook is much more optimistic. Successful AI means enhancing—not replacing—the human workforce. IDC predicts the Salesforce economy, powered by AI, will generate a net gain of $2.02 trillion in worldwide business revenues and 11.6 million jobs worldwide between 2022 and 2028.

With its ability to supercharge human capabilities, AI should be used as a tool to empower the workforce rather than hindering or replacing them.”

AI isn’t for someone else. If you’re in business, AI is for you.

I’m already seeing how AI can affect my daily work, from translating and summarizing client meetings to checking code. It can really help speed up processing time so we can focus on the human aspects of our jobs.”
