Course Description

What Is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

AI may seem as though it appeared out of nowhere in 2023 with the release of ChatGPT, but it’s actually been powering many of the systems you interact with every day. Discover what AI is, the different forms it can take, and how large language models (LLMs)—like GPT—kickstarted a generative AI revolution!

How Can I Be Productive with AI?

The best time to start using AI is right now! Like the internet and computer ages before it, AI will soon permeate nearly every area of our work and daily lives. You’ll learn robust, evergreen techniques and strategies for getting the most out of AI. Get hands-on experience using AI to create content such as social media posts, chat with a learning tutor, and analyze data—all interactively hosted within the course!

How Can I Improve My Prompts to Maximize Quality?

Because we’ve been conditioned to treat technology as a tool, most people aren’t getting the full potential from their AI interactions. You’ll learn clear frameworks for using AI to perform tasks and solve problems; apply a robust prompt-engineering framework to maximize output quality, and iterate your prompts to achieve refined, reliable results!

How Can I Avoid the Pitfalls of AI Systems?

The upside to using AI for productivity is enormous, but there are important risks and pitfalls to be aware of to protect your work, your customers’ data, and your company’s reputation. Strengthen your prompting skills with essential checks and adopt a responsible AI mindset.
