It is designed to teach how to give clear instructions to tools like Gemini, Google's AI assistant. In addition, the course "Google AI Fundamentals" remains available, which is Coursera's most popular course globally in 2024.
Why is it important to train in AI today?
According to a survey by Randstad and Manpower, profiles in AI, automation, and data analysis are among the most in demand in the country. However, 62% of companies state that they have difficulty filling these positions.

With these scholarships, Google seeks to reduce that gap and facilitate access to a job market with high future prospects.
Institutional support
At the launch event, held at the Science Cultural Center, more than 350 young people participated in a practical workshop on AI. National authorities and Google representatives were also present.
Víctor Valle, General Director of Google Argentina, stated: "Argentine talent is exceptional. AI is a historic opportunity to lead a global transformation".
Innovation Secretary Darío Genua said: "There is a political decision to make Argentina a relevant player in the AI revolution".
