Autodesk plans to spend $350 million on training programs and tools to help people learn artificial intelligence, Business Insider reported. Dara Treseder, the company's chief marketing officer, made the announcement in an interview at the 2026 Cannes Lions Festival. Treseder pointed to data from Autodesk's recent AI jobs report.
The survey found that 82% of respondents felt very comfortable using large language models in daily life, while only one-third said they were comfortable using AI at work. Respondents cited concerns that the technology might malfunction or render humans unnecessary. "That education is so key, not only to give people the skills and the talent, but to change the mindset," Treseder said.
