Rackspace offering AI literacy training to employees

Rackspace Technology has announced a new AI literacy program designed to educate employees on the principles of AI to drive meaningful customer outcomes and effectively integrate AI into the company’s operations.

FAIR Learn is part of the overall Foundry for Generative AI by Rackspace (FAIR) initiative and has four levels: AI-Ready, AI-Business, AI-Specialist and AI-Expert. Each level comprises recommended courses from LinkedIn Learning and cloud service providers.

“The world of technology is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, and artificial intelligence (AI) sits firmly at the forefront of this revolution. With FAIR, we are driving to be the AI leader in our industry — to do this, AI is no longer just an opportunity; it’s a necessity,” said Amar Maletira, Chief Executive Officer of Rackspace Technology.

“As Rackers, we pride ourselves on our unyielding dedication to customer success, continuous learning and adaptability. With FAIR Learn, we have the audacious goal of having the majority of our Rackers credentialed in the program. With this commitment, we are taking a bold step into the future, embracing AI and driving innovation to shape the future of our company, customers and the world at large.”
