Accenture is launching an on-demand learning program led by Accenture experts and powered by content from Stanford Online.
The Generative AI Scholars Program offers more than 40 hours of self-paced, best-in-class online learning taught by leading Stanford faculty and lecturers through Stanford Online course material, combined with industry insight from Accenture experts.
Blending lectures, engaging discussions and practical insights pulled from peer experiences, it is pitched as going beyond theory to provide business and technology leaders with generative AI strategy and technology know-how for real-world application.
Key features include easily digestible bite-sized learning, industry spotlights and case studies, module-specific checkpoints to reinforce learners’ knowledge and new skills, as well as reflection activities to apply what they’ve learned.
”As an educator at heart, I hold a profound sense of pride in creating ways for individuals not only to grasp the transformative potential of AI but also to empower leaders to prepare their organizations for new ways of working in today’s digital economy and develop an understanding of the profound impact AI will have on our society in the coming years,” said Lan Guan, Accenture’s chief AI officer and head of its Center for Advanced AI.
“Inspired by the success of the Foundation Models Scholar Program, which was delivered by the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI to about 150 Accenture leaders, we’re now bringing the highest caliber of AI skills training to thousands of participants.”
