Google has recently launched a range of training resources centered on generative AI. The training courses are available on the Google Cloud Skills Boost platform. There are two comprehensive learning paths available: "Introduction to Generative AI" and "Generative AI for Developers". 

The "Introduction to Generative AI" path is designed for non-technical roles such as sales, marketing, HR, and operations. It contains introductory courses on responsible AI principles and how generative AI can impact business. This path is offered for free and takes only 45 minutes to complete. 

The "Generative AI for Developers" path is designed for software developers and engineers. It includes technical hands-on labs and courses. To take this advanced path, you must first complete prerequisite courses "Introduction to Responsible AI" and "Generative AI Fundamentals." This path is not free, and Google Cloud credits are required for the more advanced technical labs on services like Generative AI Studio and Vertex AI. 

Each learning path provides a mix of theory and practical experience, including video courses, hands-on labs, and opportunities to earn skill badges. Google says the training materials will be continually updated, ensuring they keep pace with the latest developments in the field.

Google Cloud offers a range of generative AI labs, allowing learners to gain practical experience by working directly on the platform. Here's a list of available labs and the amount of Google Cloud credits required to participate:

- Get Started with Generative AI Studio (one credit)
