🗞️ AI News of The Week: OpenAI Jobs Platform (coming soon)

In a blog post this week, OpenAI announced they were committed to helping people leverage AI to find jobs which is why they are going to be launching a new OpenAI Jobs Platform & OpenAI Certifications (to make sure people know how to use AI tools).

🧠 AI Term of The Week: Embeddings

Embeddings are how AI turns words into numbers (also known as vectors) so it can understand what you mean.

When using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) like uploading your own PDFs or notes into a chatbot, embeddings are how your content gets indexed so the AI can “remember” and “retrieve” the right stuff later.

🔑 Creators: Understanding embeddings is key to building smarter AI-powered tools, bots, and assistants.
