Recently, @DigitalSkillnet designed a two-day masterclass for senior business leaders to explore the vast potential and opportunities including the inherent challenges presented by Generative Artificial Intelligence (GEN AI) technology and to evaluate how companies and organisations can harness its potential. The GenAI Masterclass, hosted by @DigitalSkillnet in collaboration with @LondonBSchool, focused not only on the strategic implementation of AI but also on the imminent need for significant up-skilling of Ireland’s workforce, a need amplified by the rapid advancements in AI. #digital #technology
