AI certifications: Hype or helpful? | Ep. 251
Manage episode 514914024 series 3335763
In this episode of Today in Tech, host Keith Shaw is joined by Sydnee Mayers, Product Lead for AI at Cribl, to explore the fast-growing world of AI certifications. As tech companies, cloud providers, and universities race to offer AI training programs, how can professionals know which certifications matter — and which ones might be outdated before you even finish them?
We break down:
The explosion of AI certifications post-ChatGPT
The most popular programs (Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Andrew Ng)
Why developer skills don’t always translate to working with AI
The difference between a “course” and a real certification
How employers actually view AI certs in hiring decisions
The skills (like prompt engineering) that still aren’t being formally taught
The lack of certifications for non-technical roles (sales, marketing)
Why AI certifications may never become standardized — and what to do instead
