You.com and Inversity Announce Exclusive Multi-Year Partnership to Launch First-Ever Personalized AI Training Program
AI training that's actually relevant to your job: first-of-its-kind personalized AI training program tailored to your role, with immediate feedback on your work.
PALO ALTO, Calif., February 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--While businesses increasingly want to adopt AI in the workplace, a lack of adequate training remains one of the most significant barriers to success. To address this gap, You.com and Inversity today announced an exclusive multi-year partnership to deliver the first-ever personalized, role-specific training program with real-time feedback to upskill millions of knowledge workers globally.
According to recent research from Capgemini, 65% of leaders already see AI as a potential strategic "thought partner" in planning, risk evaluation, and decision-making. However, adoption is in the early stages. Only 15% of leaders and managers and 20% of employees use AI tools daily, the study found. Training is a major gap, with 58% of leaders and managers citing the absence of formal AI training as a major challenge. Just 16% of employees said they have received adequate support to develop AI skills, and only 46% of leaders and managers have received formal AI training.
Existing workplace training often means generic modules that employees rush through just to check a box. You.com's partnership with Inversity takes a different approach by integrating AI training directly into daily work that's tailored to the worker's exact role and needs. For example, a Marketing Communications Manager enters their priorities - like newsletter writing and social media content. They receive personalized exercises using AI, with immediate feedback. What they learn can be immediately applied to their role.
"The future of work is about all of us becoming managers of AI," said Richard Socher, co-founder and CEO of You.com. "Going from an individual contributor to a people manager requires learning to delegate clearly, building trust, and specifying requirements. That's exactly the skill transition we'll all need. When you work with You.com, you'll be able to uplevel yourself and your entire team into AI managers thanks to our new partnership with Inversity."
"This partnership with you.com represents an exciting step in realizing our vision: equipping millions of people with the skills to harness AI effectively. By combining You.com's powerful AI offering with Inversity's deeply personalized and certified AI training, we'll help people reimagine the way they work with AI and do their best work faster," said James Kuht, founder and CEO of Inversity.
Unlike existing one-size-fits-all training programs, this partnership offers:
Role-specific exercises that immediately apply to each user's actual work
AI-automated assessments with immediate, detailed feedback on real tasks
Five-minute focused video modules that respect busy schedules
Direct LinkedIn certification integration to showcase AI expertise
Training in English and German
The program is structured in three tiers that progressively build AI capabilities:
Hands-on AI Masterclass I: Fundamentals Foundational skills in AI writing and research
Hands-on AI Masterclass II: Proficiency Builds on fundamentals with modules for ideas, images, data analysis, and custom agent building
Hands-on AI Masterclass III: Mastery Advanced options including Research & Reasoning, Personalisation, Agents and Prompting.

VW's EV Masterplan Expands Beyond Just Batteries
Volkswagen is in the middle of a turnaround strategy that will put the German brand back on track. Its grand plan was revealed earlier this year, with nine new models to be launched in the next few years. The all-new Scalable Systems Platform (SSP)is part of this movement, though various issues have plagued its rollout, including software issues related to Cariad. Now, VW has revealed an update about the SSP, and it's a major one that involves internal combustion engines. After years of touting the SSP as its clean-sheet EV architecture, the German auto giant has revealed that SSP will also support internal combustion engines, though not in the traditional sense. Instead, VW is pivoting toward range-extending gas engines that generate electricity to charge batteries, not drive the wheels. While VW may tout this as an evolution of the SSP architecture, the incorporation of a range-extender engine is more like a safety net for the brand. At this point, several automakers have already backpedaled from their all-EV push due to waning demand for BEVs. VW is one of them, and this is the company's solution. The SSP architecture will still be fully electric at heart, but it will also accommodate range extenders. These are internal combustion engines used solely to generate power for the battery, with no mechanical link to the wheels. Nissan's e-Power, which is reportedly reaching the US market, operates on the same principle as VW's SSP. The defunct Mazda MX-30 also got a similar upgrade with a rotary range extender, while VW Group's own Scout brand is also launching in the market with the same technology. One of SSP's headline vehicles will be the ninth-generation VW Golf, which will be fully electric and will coexist with the current Mk8 Golf for several years. It's unclear whether there will be a range-extended version of the Golf, but we expect the model to arrive by 2029, so there is an allowance for adjustments to VW's plan. In China, the world's biggest automotive market, Volkswagen already previewed the ID. Era concept, which features a gasoline-powered range extender. Of note, EV demand in China is also dropping, with range-extended EVs and plug-in hybrid gaining popularity. Despite the expanded capabilities, VW doesn't expect this range-extended EV strategy to take hold everywhere. According to VW CEO Thomas Schäfer, Europe is unlikely to see SSP-based range extender models where plug-in hybrids remain the more viable option. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.

Warner Bros. Discovery CFO to head cable division in planned split
This story was originally published on To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily newsletter. Warner Bros. Discovery's newly unveiled plan to split itself into two is expected to bring about a big promotion for the company's CFO. The New York City-based media giant on Monday said it intends to split itself into two publicly traded companies — one overseeing the company's streaming offerings and the other leading its cable networks, including CNN and TNT. Gunnar Wiedenfels, who has served as CFO since Warner's merger with Discovery in April 2022, is set to become president and CEO of the cable division. Wiedenfels, who previously served as an executive at a German media company, first started working as finance chief for Discovery in 2017. In a news release, Wiedenfels said the division will enable the spinoffs to 'leverage their strength and specific financial profiles' and 'pursue important investment opportunities.' As head of the cable division, Wiedenfels said he intends to find 'innovative ways to work with distribution partners to create value for both linear and streaming viewers globally while maximizing our network assets and driving free cash flow.' The tax-free split is expected to be completed in mid-2026, according to the release. David Zaslav, president and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, will lead the streaming division. The company hasn't yet disclosed who will make up the rest of the executive team of the new spinoffs. The cable division, referred to as 'Global Networks' in company documents, is expected to take most of Warner Bros. Discovery's reported $37 billion debt with it. In a media call cited by The Hollywood Reporter, Wiedenfels said it's 'safe to assume that the majority' of the company's current debt load will go to the cable division, although a 'not-insignificant' portion would remain with the streaming side. Ahead of the proposed split, Warner Bros. Discovery also said it plans to take out $17.5 billion in short-term financing provided by J.P. Morgan. 'Each company will have well-capitalized structures to support their businesses,' Warner Bros. Discovery officials said in the release.
