It features a mix of online and in-person events, including basic courses for end users and advanced classes for engineers and developers, all available for free. Accessible via academy.openai.com, the platform has been designed in collaboration with educational institutions like Georgia Tech and Miami Dade College to develop various courses and educational materials. Introducing OpenAI Academy: — Greg Brockman (@gdb) April 2, 2025 "Our partnership with OpenAI Academy Online and GPTechday is about turning curiosity into capability, giving people the confidence and skills to shape their own future and empower more AI learners across Miami and beyond," said Pedro Santos Acosta, executive director of emerging technologies at Miami Dade College. OpenAI Academy currently hosts various events, such as "AI for Older Adults: Introduction to AI," and provides content to help users understand AI technologies, including text prompting, image generation, and video generation. These materials and events aim to provide foundational AI knowledge and educate professionals on the latest technologies in the AI landscape. While the introductory courses offer a broad overview of AI, professionals can also access specialised courses on deep learning techniques, natural language processing, and computer vision. Interested users can sign up for OpenAI Academy free of charge. However, an email ID and a LinkedIn profile are required to access the content on the platform.
