මෙම BootCamp මගින් තරුණ සහභාගිවන්නන් කෘත්‍රිම බුද්ධිය, නව්‍යකරණය, ඵලදායිතාව, ව්‍යවසායකත්වය සහ ඩිජිටල් කුසලතා කේන්ද්‍ර කරගත් ඒකාග්‍ර වැඩසටහනකට එක් කරන ලදී. විශේෂඥයන් විසින් මෙහෙයවන ලද සැසි, අන්තර්ක්‍රියාකාරී ක්‍රියාකාරකම් සහ ප්‍රායෝගික ඉගෙනුම් තුළින්, නැගී එන AI ප්‍රවණතා, AI හි සදාචාරාත්මක භාවිතය, පෞද්ගලික ඵලදායිතාව, බුද්ධිමය දේපළ, අලෙවිකරණය මෙන්ම කුසලතා හා අදහස් වෙළඳපොළ අවස්ථා බවට පරිවර්තනය කිරීම පිළිබඳ දැනුම සහභාගිවන්නෝ ලබා ගත්හ.
