This is a good non-technical introduction to generative AI.

Frequently asked questions

In this course, working with generative AI means understanding how GenAI creates new content and how people can use it to support problem-solving, creativity, and everyday work tasks. The emphasis is on practical, plain-language use of GenAI in professional settings, along with its limits and ethical considerations.

You would use GenAI when you need help generating or refining content, exploring ideas, or getting support on routine problem-solving tasks. The course focuses on choosing situations where human goals, context, and judgment still guide the work.

In this course, GenAI fits best in the earlier and middle stages of work, when you are clarifying a task, drafting options, or improving a starting point. It is presented as a support tool inside a human-led process rather than something that removes the need for review and responsibility.

Traditional AI is described here as mainly analyzing, predicting, or recognizing patterns, while GenAI is focused on producing new content such as text, images, or other outputs. That difference matters because the course teaches you to guide and evaluate generated results, not just receive a prediction.

No deep technical experience is required for this beginner course. A basic understanding of business is helpful, but curiosity and a willingness to think about practical and ethical use matter most.

The course uses general generative AI tools, including conversational tools and examples of image generation, to show how people interact with GenAI in practice. The main methods are giving clear objectives and relevant information, then reviewing and refining the output.

You will define basic GenAI concepts, identify workplace use cases, and consider how GenAI can support productivity, problem-solving, and creative work. You will also reflect on ethical risks, think about responsible use in your role, and check your understanding of GenAI's capabilities and limitations.
