Why is this training important?
Compliance
Generative AI can be incredibly helpful – but only if it’s used properly. It can boost creativity, improve productivity, and support problem-solving in almost any role or industry. But if there’s uncertainty over how it works or where the boundaries are, it’s easy to make mistakes – like feeding in personal data, generating biased content, or spreading misinformation by accident.
This course helps learners get to grips with generative AI in a simple, straightforward way. They’ll learn what it can do, how to work with it using clear prompts, and how to avoid the most common risks. It’s a great starting point for anyone who wants to use AI confidently, safely, and creatively in their day-to-day work.
