Third, we see a strong focus on providing AI literacy training and educating the workforce on how AI works, its potentials and limitations, and best practices for ethical AI use. We are likely to have to learn (and re-learn) how to use different AI technologies for years to come.

Useful?!? This is a total waste of time, energy, and resources for worthless chatbots.

I use it all the time at work, generative ai is very useful. I don't know vba coding but I was able to automate all my excel reports by using chatgpt to write me vba code to automate everything. I know sql and I'm a novice at it. Chatgpt can fix all the areas in weak at in SQL. I end up asking it about APIs and was able to integrate another source of data giving everyone in my department new and better reporting.

There are a lot of limitations and you have to ask it to fix a lot of the errors it creates but it's very helpful for someone like me who doesn't know programming but it can enable me to use programming to be more efficient.
