Had a student of mine ask about AI Essentials and if it would be offered in the future. I was not aware of any such things until he showed me this article:

www.comptia.org

CompTIA announces AI product roadmap expansion covering six domains

CompTIA Newsroom
www.comptia.org

And now I am curious, what is the latest with these expansions? Is this going to be a new pathway or what is going on with them. The article mentions a July 24 release, but I am not finding anything about them on CIN or other places. just curious.

Hi Bryan,
It is will be great if we can share more about what's AI certificates is can apply for all big four in Tech: GG, MS, Meta, etc...
If the students want to work for GG, him need to exam this/ that certificates, etc. thank you.

Hello @Bryan H, There is not a lot of information right now. There is a discussion thread that is talking about the AI expansion. You can check out some comments here. https://cin.comptia.org/threads/comptia-ai-add-ons.1886/

Here is a recent blog post, Tuesday, September 10, 2024, that provides "How CompTIA is approaching AI skills training", https://www.comptia.org/blog/the-im...ce-on-skills-training-for-government-agencies

Wouldn't it be more efficient to develop a single AI/ML course, and include those subtopics as part of the certification?

I know ISACA has an AI Fundamentals certification, and CertNexus has a Certified Artificial Intelligence Practitioner certification.

That is a great move. I don't know if you were in Atlanta. They explained the multi domain model, but I honestly don't remember much, other than they were thinking of being cert specific, like a course for AI directed at a Pentester, another directed as a Cyber Security Analyst and so on. I've seen two interview with James Stanger related to AI. But he just comments on the add ons and don't give a lot of information regarding what CompTIA will do.

I did not attend the CompTIA conference in Atlanta because I was busy teaching a virtual Cloud+ class for US military members stationed in Germany.

It doesn't make sense to fragment AI/ML courses and present specific use cases for them unless you have a solid general foundational course that covers the basics of AI/ML first. People need a foundation in data science and Python if they're going to work with AI/ML, and I don't see how they will be able to adequately cover that in a specific use case option such as AI PenTesting or AI SysOps.

That would have been cooler in Germany!

Yes, that's why I'm so eager to see what they come up with. My feeling in Atlanta after I asked the panelists was that they are still figuring out how to do it. Maybe they are realizing that all those tiny add ons are not the right answer
