Enterprise AI Academy

PURPOSE
The Enterprise AI Academy (BlueACAD) helps business managers, executives, board members, shareholders, and career changers navigate the vast space of artificial intelligence. The academy provides public and company-specific education and training programs. They target different audiences, including executives, managers, users, system managers, consultants, service partners, and career changers.

Attendees can earn certificates confirming they were fully present, actively participated in the training, and successfully completed a final test. A program detail letter describes the skills and learning the attendees could acquire.

PROGRAM FOCUS
The programs we offer focus on applied Enterprise AI for business. The complexity of Enterprise AI platforms, networks, applications, management, and holistic coordination is at a degree that we don’t offer developer courses right now.

UNDERSTANDING AI
The next most important learning is to understand the power of AI as a way to extend our cognitive capabilities and capacity. Those who ignore AI ignore the capability of advancing faster than ever before and therefore fall behind. This isn’t about understanding technology but understanding how to use it.

Nobody needs to know machine learning, training LLMs, prompting, coding, or any of the technical aspects, like you don’t need to know how to fly when flying from Zürich to Singapore.

LEGAL ENTITY 
The Enterprise AI Academy is a wholly owned business unit of Swiss-based BlueCallom AG in Zürich.

The Future of Education

KNOWLEDGE EXPLOSION
Because knowledge is doubling every 12 hours, our education system is now under huge pressure. That was predicted already in 1980 by various sources. We have reached that time now.

SPECIALIZATION
Since we realized centuries ago that we can’t learn everything, we began to specialize. That was one of the wisest decisions. But no longer even an option.

LIFELONG LEARNING
More learning doesn’t solve the problem. Adaptation does. We need to adapt to a completely new situation; instead of learning more, we need to learn how to acquire the knowledge when we need it. Instead of broadening our knowledge, we need to learn how to maximize our brain’s capabilities. Similar to how we extended our physical powers or the lack thereof, for instance, flying, faster running, deeper diving, lifting more weight, and much more, we now need to extend our cognitive powers.

LIFELONG ADVANCEMENT
It is our conviction that LEARNING is no longer the center of education; ADVANCING is. In order to advance in the fast-growing developed world, we need to advance our cognitive abilities. That includes, in particular, problem-solving skills, abstract thinking, networked thinking, unfolding curiosity, creativity, intuition, communication skills, critical thinking, and courage. 

We aim at advancing and augmenting human intelligence by using AI.

Human Intelligent Augmentation

Participants learn how to:

  • Understand where AI creates real economic, technological, and societal value.

  • Integrate Enterprise Workflow Intelligence where rigid, deterministic processes slow down and criple a business engagement flow.

  • Fuse human intelligence with artificial intelligence to build a cognitive Enterprise

The overarching goal is to master intelligent collaboration with AI. 

AI will not replace people. But people leveraging AI will outperform those who don’t.
