How to empower your employees with AI skills

One of the biggest misconceptions I see around AI? That it’s only for data scientists. The truth is, every employee—regardless of their role—can use AI to improve workflows, make stronger decisions, and solve problems with confidence. But when teams believe it’s “not for them,” they hold back. And that hesitation limits both their impact and the organization’s progress. That’s why I’m such a believer in practical, role-focused AI training. Our course, Implementing AI for Non-Data Scientists, was built to show employees how to apply AI meaningfully in their everyday work—without needing to be an expert. 🚀 👉 If you’d like to see how this could support your teams, connect with me here: https://lnkd.in/eVxP93uN #KnowledgeCity #LearningLibrary #AIpoweredLMS #AITraining #EmployeeDevelopment

But its true power emerges when combined with human judgment, context, and experience.   Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/gz2kWBBE #WinningWithAI #AIInsights #FutureOfWork #AIProductivity Ecosystm | Kampd

“RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) is quietly becoming the foundation of enterprise AI” When AI misfires in enterprise settings, it’s more than a glitch, it erodes trust and impacts business outcomes. The future of enterprise AI won’t hinge on hype or scale but it will be won by solutions that are consistently reliable, deeply integrated with data, and whose accuracy you can measure. I’m thrilled to be part of this journey. The real question isn’t whether RAG will become standard in enterprise AI—it’s how quickly it will.
