AI is everywhere! But is it a good thing? How do you fight through the hype to actually understand the technology and its benefits? How do you use something that you don't even effectively understand?

The AI products, systems, and tools are changing every day. Keeping up is almost impossible. The good news is that understanding AI itself isn't something that changes quickly. Understanding how AI is built, how it is trained, and how it thinks will change the way you approach AI.

This course will teach you how to understand AI, how to see through the hype, how to avoid the common AI pitfalls, and how to take advantage of the benefits of AI without encountering the negatives of AI as well.

Note: This course is about how to navigate AI, not how to use specific LLMs or tools. There will not be technical hands-on work in this course.
