Unitas has launched an AI academy offering to its members and supplier partners which gives them a starting point to develop their confidence and capability in using AI through the lens of the wholesale sector.
Consisting of three courses – Fundamentals, Proficiency and Mastery – the AI Academy has been formed in partnership with AI educational platform PAIR and was announced at the Unitas annual conference.
Before officially launching the Academy, Unitas trialled the approach and content with a number of wholesale members, each with varying levels of experience using AI to ensure the Academy delivered results at each of the three levels.
