Launched in three phases throughout 2024, CGI’s AI learning strategy includes:

1. Build fluency among all CGI professionals in the responsible use of AI, as well as in general AI concepts and their impact on business

2. Develop the AI skills of its developers and other technical professionals

3. Advance the thinking of its leaders and experts to drive AI innovation, thought leadership, and business development

In developing content for its AI learning journey, CGI used a mix of learning resources from Skillsoft, the CGI Academia learning platform, and other resources, including learning guides and sessions developed by CGI experts.

The training is part of CGI’s comprehensive strategy to expand AI capabilities in partnership with clients seeking to responsibly move from experimentation to implementation, while accelerating time-to-value.
