Generative AI holds the power to transform our customers’ operations, enhancing their efficiency, productivity, and innovation capabilities. As work methods continue to evolve, the demand for cloud expertise is increasing. Moreover, according to the World Economic Forum, AI skills represent the third-highest priority for companies’ training strategies, right alongside analytical and creative thinking. It is pretty much true that ‘AI might not replace you, but a person who uses AI could.’
