My son is going to grow up in a completely different world that is filled with generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, LLama, etc.). I think this is a world of possibility, creativity, and deep thought that will enrich the way we think and solve problems. I want to make sure that my son is set up for success in this new world and understands how to use generative AI in a way that helps him learn, create, and solve problems.

Too often, people use Generative AI as an answer generator, rather than an option generator. When we are confronted with multiple options, it engages our critical thinking and personal aesthetics. Options force us to think about which one we are going to choose and why. This module teaches you how to use options to break out of the mode of using Generative AI to do the thinking for you.

Too many people use Generative AI like Internet search -- we ask it for an answer. The real power of Generative AI comes out when we start using it as a tool to iteratively refine content, ideas, code, and text in a conversation. This module will teach you how to use Generative AI to solve problems through a back and forth conversation.

It's amazing. I never thought that I can pass down my learning to my sons aged 9 and 8. Now, I am ready to engage them in the right way.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
