Artificial intelligence is changing how we write, plan, analyze, and make decisions at work. This free online course helps you build practical AI literacy you can use immediately, whether you work in business, technology, marketing, education, or any role that depends on information and communication. Instead of treating AI as a mystery, you will learn how modern tools actually fit into everyday tasks, where they shine, and where they require careful oversight.
You will develop a clear understanding of core AI concepts, including generative AI and large language models, and why their outputs can sometimes be unreliable. That context makes it easier to use AI responsibly: validating results, spotting gaps, and reducing risk when AI is used to support real decisions. The course also reinforces a human-in-the-loop mindset, showing why human judgment remains essential for quality, accuracy, ethics, and accountability.
A key outcome is learning how to collaborate with AI through strong prompt engineering. You will practice writing effective prompts that are specific, well-structured, and goal-oriented, so conversational tools can produce more useful, relevant output. This skill helps you move from vague experimentation to repeatable workflows that save time, improve communication, and accelerate problem solving.
Along the way, you will explore practical ways AI can boost productivity across industries, from drafting content and summarizing complex information to generating ideas, organizing plans, and supporting analysis. You will also learn how to decide when generative AI is the right tool for the job, and when traditional methods are better. By the end, you will be better prepared to keep up with fast-moving AI developments and apply new tools with confidence, curiosity, and care.

Great info, but the longer videos were repeated in shorter videos. I completed the longer videos, but had to watch the shorter ones for completion.
