Everywhere you look, people are talking about AI. This course will help you better understand AI and how you can more effectively interact with it.

AI is a field of computer science that enables computers to simulate human intelligence. AI systems function by ingesting very large amounts of data. Similarly to how a human would, it “learns” from this data, and then uses that knowledge to predict future data and solve complex problems that, up until recently, could only be solved by humans.

The term “prompt” refers to the text that the user gives to the AI algorithm to tell it what to do. If you’ve ever tried to use ChatGPT or another AI model, you’ve already generated an AI prompt, but in order to generate the best output from a generative AI model, you must understand the opportunities and limitations of these models. This knowledge will help you phrase your prompt in a way that best allows the model to meet your needs.

This course focuses on the methodology of:

  • Crafting AI prompts to avoid AI hallucinations
  • Using examples and data in your prompts to help AI algorithms provide the most useful outputs for your needs
  • Utilizing key words to improve responses from AI algorithms
