AI Foundations

Eight modules on using AI properly at work: know the tool, ask clearly, check before you trust, protect the data, and stay the one who decides. Free, no technical background needed.

Who it is for
Anyone who works with text, data or people and wants to use AI without creating new problems.

  3. When AI goes wrong in hurried hands3–5 minFree

Checkpoint: 6 scenarios

Module 2

Know the tool

What a language model is and how it works: predicting text, training and the knowledge cutoff, tokens and the context window, and why answers vary.
