Two Phase Training

The initiative will run in two phases:

The first phase will focus on basic AI knowledge, wherein all selected participants will get access to learning courses. They will also receive certificates. This is the primary stage where creators will understand how AI works and how it can be used in content generation and creation.

The second phase will be more practical, and hence, it will include several processes, like training, real project, and platform based learning. Under this phase, creators will try to learn storytelling and use advanced AI tools. Furthermore, they will also learn how to grow on platforms like YouTube. Training will be offered in online as well as offline structure across major creative cities.

Role of IICT in AI Partnership

The AI programme will be lead by the Indian Institute of Creative Technologies across the country. The institute will manage execution, training structure, and planning on how to make creators learn about AI. Not only this, the institute has worked closely with Google and YouTube to design a course that matches industry needs.

India's Creative Economy Gets a Boost

India has a vast number of digital creators, but their quality and income levels are not same for everyone. With the help of proper AI training, they will be able to improve their work and compete globally.

The initiative is also helpful in terms of supporting India's larger goal of growing digital economy. Better skilled creators can now produce high-quality content to attract global audiences and increase their earnings.

Future Ready Content Creation

The programme is one of the best examples of how we witness a major shift from basic awareness to real skill building. Rather than just talking about AI, the country is now focusing on using it effectively. If applied well, it can change how content is created in India.
