| | 🤝 FSU Teams Up with Google to Bring AI into Classrooms. | FSU News FSU has joined Google’s AI for Education Accelerator, giving students, faculty, and staff free access to advanced AI tools like Gemini for Education and NotebookLM. This move makes FSU one of the leaders in bringing AI-powered learning directly into classrooms and research. 🔎 The partnership is part of Google’s $1B, three-year investment in U.S. education, designed to strengthen AI literacy, fund research, and expand cloud resources. FSU is the only R1 research university in the State University System to participate, setting it apart as a hub for innovation. ✨ With Gemini, students and faculty can log in securely using their university emails to access tools that personalize learning, simplify complex ideas, and boost productivity. Students can use AI as a study partner, while faculty can create summaries, quizzes, and interactive course materials. Beyond tools, Google is offering free AI training programs such as AI Essentials and Prompting Essentials. These courses help students, faculty, and staff develop real-world skills in AI, ensuring they are better equipped for today’s fast-changing job market. FSU leaders say this collaboration will not only make learning more engaging but also prepare graduates for the technology-driven workplace. As Associate Vice Provost Paul Marty explained, Gemini-powered tools make it easier to organize knowledge in ways that inspire deeper learning and collaboration.

| | 📢 OpenAI Announces Jobs Platform and AI Certification to Expand Opportunities. | OpenAI OpenAI’s CEO of Applications, Fidji Simo, says AI can unlock more opportunities than any past technology - helping people earn income, making companies more efficient, and creating new jobs. But since AI will also be disruptive, both workers and businesses need to adapt and learn new skills. To support this, OpenAI announced it is developing the OpenAI Jobs Platform, expected to launch by mid-2026. The platform will connect AI-trained talent with employers of all sizes - from Walmart and John Deere to local businesses and governments - and use AI to match workers with the right roles, leveling the playing field for smaller employers. 🧑💼 Alongside this, OpenAI will roll out AI Certifications, with a pilot program set for late 2025. These certifications will cover everything from basic workplace use to advanced prompt engineering. Learners can prepare directly in ChatGPT’s Study Mode and earn credentials that businesses can trust. This builds on the OpenAI Academy, which has already reached 2M learners. OpenAI aims to certify 10M Americans by 2030, with launch partners like Walmart helping bring AI training to their workforce. These initiatives support the White House’s AI literacy efforts and are designed to ensure AI benefits everyone. By pairing training, certification, and real job opportunities, OpenAI hopes to create a stronger, more inclusive AI-ready workforce. 💼
