Concerns

The introduction of a certification program raises skepticism, as it seems trivial compared to the actual skills needed in AI development.
There is concern that HRs will prioritize certifications over genuine experience, potentially leading to inflated job requirements.
The significant investment in a certification program appears misguided, especially when the focus should be on advancing AI capabilities rather than administrative credentials.
The vague nature of the announcement leaves many questioning its relevance and the actual audience it aims to serve.
