My company (an internet provider) talks about AI in everything it does. Like many companies, it has completely hopped on the AI bandwagon. While the company doesn't quite know where they're headed in the AI space, leadership talks a lot about how employees need to understand AI and engross themselves in it, in order to stay relevant (and I'm assuming to stay employed, if I'm reading between the lines). I'm an elder-millenial, so I'm tech savvy but not very much on the AI bandwagon yet. I would love to learn and "stay relevant". Does anyone have any recommendations for coursework, training, or especially, certifications, I can get in the AI space?

I think you should continue applying for jobs and interviewing as you are not crazy about one of the jobs and it is unclear if you will be offered the other.
If the company less interesting to you offers you a position, you should alert the other hiring manager to let him/her know that they are expecting a response in x days. (No company would expect a response on the spot; it is perfectly reasonable to take time to think about it). If they are truly…

My leader left. He had to find a place that respects his skills and dedication, not here.
I am depressed because of all the uncertainty and lack of support I am experiencing now.
How do you stay motivated and not depressed when so much is out of your control?

My company is nervous about our data being used to train public large language models so has rolled out AI very carefully and I was able to join an early adopter pilot group. We currently use CoPilot and all the security measures are in place so that we are OK to use it. If your company doesn't have any policies around it, they may want to look into it because there are some real security concerns and risks if you don't handle it correctly. However they do want us to see what we can do with it so are encouraging us to experiment with it. I've taken some classes on LinkedIn Learning which were helpful.
