Our goal is to demystify AI The Elements of AI is a series of free online courses created by MinnaLearn and the University of Helsinki. We want to encourage as broad a group of people as possible to learn what AI is, what can (and can’t) be done with AI, and how to start creating AI methods. The courses combine theory with practical exercises and can be completed at your own pace.

As a public servant (and human), each day you’re likely to be faced with a mountain of decisions, ranging from miniscule to massive. Have you ever wished that you could make those decisions just a little bit easier, and just a little bit more effective? If so, you’re not alone — and this course can help get you on the right track. In this course, developed in collaboration with UN colleagues, including the UN Innovation Network (UNIN), you’ll dissect the decision-making process and determine what makes decisions so difficult, what makes some decisions more difficult than others, and what you can do about it. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Recognise what makes decisions challenging and why it matters - Understand how personality influences decision-making - Identify common behavioural biases and strategies to overcome them - Dissect difficult choices and help others make the right call

Artificial Intelligence is no longer evolving in isolation. Across the world of work, AI is increasingly interacting with robotics, extended realities, distributed ledgers, neurotechnologies, geodata, cybersecurity, biotechnology, and other emerging fields. AI+ explores the combined effect of these technologies on skills, labour markets, enterprises, policy, and learning. The event will bring together the ITCILO community and key labour market stakeholders to examine how these technological intersections are already reshaping the near future of work.

The course provides a comprehensive understanding of Generative AI, covering its mechanisms and practical applications in text, video, and images.
