As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms global operations, the UN system and international organizations must equip their personnel with the skills to responsibly understand, apply, and benefit from AI technologies. Developed and operated by the UNICC AI Hub, the AI Academy aims to close the AI literacy gap across UN entities by launching a structured, multi-partner pilot initiative aligned with the UN 2.0 and based on the WFP’s Data and AI Competency Framework.

These self-paced e-learning modules build skills across the many domains of sustainable finance, enabling learners to understand core concepts in sustainable finance and the tools and strategies for utilizing sustainable finance to deliver the SDGs.

Around one in three women worldwide experiences physical or sexual violence in their lifetimes. This stark statistic is powerful. It demonstrates the scale of the problem and the urgency of eliminating violence against women (VAW). But powerful data like this doesn’t come into being by itself; it’s the result of careful data collection and analysis around the world. In this free course

By taking this course, you'll learn to: - Deeply understand generative AI, describing the key steps in a typical LLM-based generative AI lifecycle, from data gathering and model selection, to performance evaluation and deployment - Describe in detail the transformer architecture that powers LLMs, how they’re trained, and how fine-tuning enables LLMs to be adapted to a variety of specific use cases - Use empirical scaling laws to optimize the model's objective function across dataset size, compute budget, and inference requirements - Apply state-of-the art training, tuning, inference, tools, and deployment methods to maximize the performance of models within the specific constraints of your project - Discuss the challenges and opportunities that generative AI creates for businesses after hearing stories from industry researchers and practitioners
