Unlock the power of data
in education and training
AI is here, right now, but most of us know little about it. If you ask the average person, they probably have no idea how it affects their work, play, or learning. This course tells you what AI is, what it isn't, and what it can and cannot do, and why understanding human intelligence is key to understanding artificial intelligence.
Take this course if you are an educator or working in an educational businesses. If you're a parent, student, researcher, or just curious about AI, you'll find it helpful too. Build your knowledge and skills so that you can work ethically and effectively with AI and data, and ensure that when it arrives on your doorstep, you see a familiar face.

What is the AI Readiness Course about?
Professor Rose Luckin's AI Readiness Online Course is a 7-step programme to help familiarise you with AI, and teach you what it can do with data. Each step contains a set of modules to build up your knowledge and skills so that you may work ethically and effectively with AI and data.

The AI Readiness Online Course is for educators and leaders in schools, and educational businesses, colleges and universities, and for parents, students, researchers, training organisations, entrepreneurs and EdTech developers, and anyone curious about AI and what it can do.
What is AI Readiness?
AI Readiness is when you and your organisation are ready to leverage the transformational power of AI in your educational setting. There are 7 steps to get you to that point, and you can learn more about the framework in a series of webinars we've produced for educators and for educational businesses.
Can I take the course even if I don't know anything about AI?
The course is an introduction to AI and data and can be taken even if that is not your background. It doesn't get very technical, and you won't need to be working with AI or data currently in order to understand how they and the course could help you.
