Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs Krzysztof Gawkowski has expressed his endorsement for initiating collaborative digital initiatives with Saudi Arabia, which would benefit both nations.

Gawkowski's remarks came during his meeting Tuesday in Warsaw with Federation of Saudi Chambers Chairman Hassan Al-Huwaizi and a delegation of Saudi businessmen. The visit was centered on exploring trade and investment partnership prospects.

Gawkowski underlined Poland's keenness to enhance cooperation with Saudi Arabia on digital development and cybersecurity, particularly considering the substantial progress underway in the sector in both countries.

During the meeting, Alhwaizy stressed the significance of augmenting Saudi-Polish investments in technology and digital transformation, recognizing the pivotal role of the fields in economic advancement and business expansion.

Saudi Polish Business Council chairman Abdullah Abu Dabeel highlighted that Saudi Arabia’s ambitious plan for a $100 billion artificial-intelligence (AI) project, coupled with Poland's prominent position as the third-ranked country globally in terms of the quality and number of programmers, presents promising avenues for collaboration between the two nations.

OpenAI and non-profit partner Common Sense Media have launched a free training course for teachers aimed at demystifying artificial intelligence and prompt engineering, the organizations said on Wednesday.

The move comes as OpenAI is stepping up efforts to highlight the positive role in education of its ChatGPT chatbot whose launch in November 2022 kicked off a generative AI craze and made it one of the world's fastest-growing applications.

Trained on reams of data, generative AI can create brand-new humanlike content, helping users spin up term papers, complete science homework and even write entire novels.

ChatGPT's launch - in the middle of the school year - caught teachers off-guard when they realized it could be used as a cheating and plagiarism tool, which then sparked a backlash and school bans.

OpenAI, backed by Microsoft and other investors and valued at $157 billion in its last funding round, has formed a dedicated team to support what it says is the responsible use of AI in education and learning, led by former Coursera executive Leah Belsky.

"My goal in this role is to put AI into the hands of every student and every teacher... and also give them the skills to learn how to do it responsibly and effectively," Belsky told Reuters. Belsky said that student adoption of ChatGPT is "very, very high," and parents are generally supportive, viewing AI skills as essential for future careers.

The training course, targeted at kindergarten through 12th grade teachers, shows them how to use the ChatGPT chatbot product for various education use cases, such as to create lesson content or streamline department meetings. Available on Common Sense Media's website, it is the first offering in OpenAI's partnership with Common Sense Media.
