Frontier & Emerging AI

This course helps everyone stay current on where AI is heading and what it means for work. It covers reasoning models, agents and computer use, multimodal frontiers, open versus closed models, and what to watch. Learners finish with a clear, practical sense of the road ahead.

What this course covers

The course runs across 5 topics, each one a short adaptive session rather than a recorded lecture. The tutor explains the idea, works an example, checks understanding, and adjusts the next step to the answer given.

  • Reasoning Models: Beyond Pattern Matching — Explore how new AI models use chain-of-thought processing to solve complex, multi-step problems, and practice deciding when to deploy a reasoning model versus a standard LLM.
  • AI Agents & Computer Use in Action — Analyze how agents interact directly with user interfaces, mouse clicks, and keystrokes to automate workflows, including evaluating the security and operational risks of autonomous computer use.
  • Multimodal Frontiers: Integrating Audio, Vision, and Video — Examine the shift from text-only models to native multimodal systems that process real-time sight and sound, and practice choosing the right modalities for diverse business scenarios.
  • Strategic Choices: Open vs. Closed Source Models — Evaluate the trade-offs between proprietary commercial APIs and customizable open-weights models regarding cost, privacy, control, and performance.
  • What to Watch: Preparing for the Next Wave — Identify upcoming AI trends, compute scaling limits, and emerging capabilities, and practice making strategic decisions to future-proof your team's workflow.

Skills you build

Results are measured against named skills in the OneRange taxonomy of more than 10,000 skills, so a manager sees proficiency per skill rather than a completion tick. This course maps to Critical Thinking, Generative AI Concepts, Data Analysis, AI Ethics, Content Strategy.

Who it is for

All employees, leaders. The material is pitched at beginner level, and takes roughly 90 minutes at a typical pace. Because every session adapts, someone who already knows a topic moves through it quickly instead of sitting through an explanation they do not need.

It sits in the Category: Emerging track of the Vero AI Catalog, and can be assigned to one person, a team, or the whole company.

How it is delivered and assessed

Delivery is conversational and interactive, including branching scenario exercises. There is no video to sit through and no slide deck to click past.

Understanding is checked with a quiz assessment of 5 items, with a pass mark of 70%.

Administrators can copy this course into their own library and adapt it — edit the outline, change the duration, swap the assessment format, or ground it in internal documentation so answers cite the company's own source material.
