AI Fundamentals

Ready to move beyond the buzz and see real results with AI? This course covers the fundamentals of working with AI, like understanding its strengths and limitations so you can leverage it effectively at work. You’ll learn how to give AI clear and specific instructions, called prompts, and how to use AI responsibly by maintaining a “human-in-the-loop” approach. By the end of this course, you will: • Adopt a new way of working with AI, moving beyond a simple task completer to a professional collaborator. • Apply prompting techniques to brainstorm new ideas and build a library of reusable prompts for daily tasks. • Practice prompt chaining to solve complex, multi-step problems. • Generate custom images by learning how to effectively communicate your creative vision. • Use responsible judgement to apply AI confidently.
