Description

This course provides a clear, practical foundation in modern artificial intelligence for professional audiences. Participants develop accurate mental models of how AI systems work, what they can and cannot do, and how to use them responsibly in organizational settings. The focus is on understanding AI well enough to make informed decisions, set appropriate expectations, and avoid common organizational and ethical pitfalls. This course is not designed to teach AI programming or system implementation; it establishes the foundational understanding required before applying AI tools or building AI-enabled systems.

After attending this course, students should be able to:

  • Explain what modern AI is and how it differs from traditional software
  • Describe how large language models operate at a conceptual level
  • Identify strengths, limitations, and risks of AI systems
  • Apply AI concepts to real workplace scenarios
  • Communicate about AI clearly and responsibly

This course is designed for professionals who need a clear, practical understanding of artificial intelligence to make informed decisions, use AI responsibly, and participate effectively in AI-enabled initiatives.

After attending this course, students should be able to:

  • Explain how ChatGPT generates responses and what influences output quality
  • Design prompts that produce clear, actionable, and reliable results
  • Use ChatGPT to support writing, analysis, planning, and research tasks
  • Identify limitations, risks, and common failure modes
  • Apply validation and review strategies to AI-assisted work
  • Use ChatGPT responsibly in professional and organizational settings

This course is designed for professionals who want to use ChatGPT effectively and responsibly to improve productivity, analysis, and decision-making across a wide range of tasks. This course is non-technical and does not require programming experience. It is ideal for professionals who need a flexible, general-purpose AI assistant that works across tasks, tools, and contexts beyond a single productivity platform.
