FAQ Results

How long is this commitment?

The AI Academy is for five weeks. But how much time you put into it is entirely your choice. We will provide the best training and tools we can, and you can spend as much time and get as involved as you find helpful. 

How flexible is the schedule?

This AI Academy is not like a school. We are offering wonderful training and resources, but it will be up to you how much you choose to do and use. We are not having levels anymore. So everyone will be able to access everything. You will be free to do as much or as little as you are able.

How do I know I am registered?

If you get an email from us, then you are registered! Some people made mistakes in their email address in the Google Form, so if you know someone who didn’t get an email, please get them to redo the Google Form or contact us.

Should I plan to purchase, or subscribe to, software to use during the academy?

We will talk about some paid subscriptions that you can choose to use if you would like to and can afford them. 

Are there areas of AI that need more exploration in the curriculum?

AI is an ever-changing and developing field. We hope to give you enough tools to be useful for a long time. But we also know that more things will become possible week by week. So we aim to get you going and stretch your thinking, and also give confidence to keep learning after the Academy.

Can I join Level 2 or Level 3 at a later time?

Due to the very large numbers registering, we have changed the levels so that everyone is able to access everything. Everyone will receive all information and you can choose how much you want to engage with it.

Can I access the content in any other languages?

At the moment we are not able to promise any translation, though will do our best to make things accessible in other languages. If you are able to help translate, please let us know. 

Do I need to have a laptop?

No you can use a phone (or a tablet). If you have access to a laptop, it might help with some tasks. Most AI processing that we will talk about is done in the cloud and via web browsers, so internet is important. But the speed of the laptop is not so important.

Is it possible to access Level 1 training contents if I don’t have online access?

Everything is online and accessible for free. There will be a handbook to support the training which will be available both on the GCF website, and as a PDF.
