Available for both individuals and businesses, the AI-enabled platform now features new career track modules in data science, research and development, and human resources, along with foundational training in agentic AI
BOSTON, March 27, 2025 -- Ahead of National AI Literacy Day, the Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard (D^3) today announced the official launch of "Future Proof with AI," an AI-enabled training platform that offers AI upskilling for mid-career professionals. In addition to its existing modules in marketing, strategy, and finance, Future Proof with AI now offers three new modules on data science operations, research and development (R & D) and human resources (HR) tracks, as well as a new fundamental training on agentic AI. Each of these modules has been created through the cutting-edge research of Harvard Business School faculty on how AI is transforming business.
"There's real risk in companies 'falling asleep at the wheel' when it comes to AI adoption within their organization. While AI models continue to be a hot topic of conversation, implementation is lacking attention and action," said Karim Lakhani, Chair of the Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard and Dorothy and Michael Hintze Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School. "Future Proof with AI is designed to close that gap by providing a structured training framework, grounded in research-backed insights from Harvard Business School faculty, to equip professionals with the skills they need to drive AI adoption effectively and stay competitive in an AI-driven workplace."
After the successful beta launch, which showed a completion rate of three times the average of a training program, Future Proof with AI is now available for all professionals interested in:
- Understanding how rapidly evolving AI developments are transforming their job functions
- Getting the skills needed to integrate AI into their workday
Through September 12, 2025, users will have unlimited access to all of the introductory courses and tracks including marketing, strategy, finance, data science operations, R&D, and HR, for an introductory cost of $149 during this pilot phase.
Businesses can now purchase "Future Proof with AI" professional development packages for teams, departments, or the entire company to strengthen employees' skills and streamline processes with AI. In addition to a flexible, streamlined learning experience, Future Proof with AI workshops - both virtual and in-person - are available as part of the corporate packages.
