About this course

The gap that matters with AI tools is not between users and non-users, but between fluent and awkward users. This course defines AI fluency as a communication skill, not a coding skill, and moves you from casual user to calibrated practitioner: someone with an accurate mental model of what large language models do, where they fail, and how much to trust their output.

Who this course is for

  • Project professionals who use AI tools but get mediocre or inconsistent results
  • People who assume AI fluency is too technical for them
  • Leaders thinking about how their team or organization should adopt and govern AI

What you'll be able to do

  • Explain what a large language model does, where it excels, where it struggles, and why hallucination is built in
  • Apply a trust spectrum of low, medium, and high trust tasks, and calibrate it with a two-week trust log
  • Write prompts using five elements: Role, Context, Deliverable, Format, and Constraints
  • Choose models and apply chain of thought, few-shot learning, and retrieval augmented generation
  • Build repeatable workflows, decide whether to build, buy, or skip, and handle data privacy, transparency, and bias responsibly
