AI Initiate training
AI Initiate is PrismIA’s introductory training on artificial intelligence. In half a day, on-site at your premises and for a group of up to ten people, your teams understand what AI really is, how generative AI works, how to use it responsibly and which tools to draw on day to day. Accessible to everyone, with no prerequisites, this module is the entry point of the path before the more advanced courses. Every participant leaves with a certificate and a diploma, and above all with a clear view of the high impact uses for their roles.
