More than ever before, companies need employees who can use AI tools to solve problems creatively and responsibly. This non-technical AI crash course builds the foundational skills needed to do that and is designed to be valuable to anyone. Learn how to distinguish problems that AI is useful for, master prompt engineering to improve outputs, detect AI-generated output, analyze ethics and privacy, and stay up-to-date on one of the most transformative technologies of our lifetimes.
Course Topics
Understanding AI
Everyone is using it, but few truly understand it. Get under the hood of cutting-edge AI tools, understanding the different types, how they work, how they’re built, and their limitations.
Better input, better output
With the explosion in the use of Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, artful mastery of designing effective prompts has become a valuable skill. Understanding the relationship between model input and output is vital to effectively leveraging AI for your own purposes.
AI use cases
What problems can AI solve? Understand how to identify high-value AI applications across a range of industries, and where and what kind of human intervention and expertise is required.
AI jobs
Understand the landscape of AI adoption in business, the different AI-specialized roles, and how AI is being integrated into existing jobs.
Data Privacy
One of the key factors determining how businesses adopt and apply AI is data privacy.
AI Ethics
Ethics is not a nice to have; it is fundamental to ensuring any application is trustworthy, useful, and sustainable. Ensure your AI projects are effective and safe by learning leading ethics frameworks.
Staying up-to-date and looking ahead
AI is a “hot” space, with new tools, technologies, and companies emerging every few months. Learn how to stay up to date on the latest trends and use your functional and business understanding of AI to build a vision of future developments in the space.
