The AI Generalist: AI at Work
Course Description
The AI Generalist: AI at Work is a fully online, self-paced course, with a total duration of 8–11 hours, depending on the selected activities. It is a practical, hands-on learning experience designed to help you confidently use AI tools across common workplace tasks, such as writing emails, generating ideas, and creating social media content.
Through real-world activities and guided practice, you will learn how to identify where AI can add value, choose the right tool for each task, and evaluate AI-generated outputs effectively. You will also develop the mindset and frameworks needed to use AI thoughtfully and responsibly, with attention to ethics, data privacy, and quality.
Note: This course is not a technical AI training — it does not cover model development, coding, infrastructure, or IT-specific AI tooling. It’s a cross-functional, role-agnostic course designed for all backgrounds, including IT staff, to build practical AI fluency in everyday work tasks (communication, writing, content creation) rather than technical AI skills.
Program Components
➤ Microlearning
Short learning sessions (25–30 minutes in Units 1 and 2), including video and audio materials, designed to help you absorb content easily and fit learning into a busy schedule.
➤ Mini-Missions Approach
Task-oriented learning where you create practical workplace outputs and receive feedback. Each activity follows a Learn–Create–Feedback cycle, helping you apply knowledge immediately and build confidence in using AI for real tasks.
➤ Real time feedback
An AI assistant (“Geny”) provides guided feedback after each Mini-Mission, helping you improve how you interact with AI and refine your task outputs.
➤ Responsible AI Use
The program integrates key principles of responsible AI use, including privacy, bias and fairness, transparency, legal considerations, and risk awareness.
➤ Program Structure
The program is organized into units and activities that allow you to progress at your own pace while focusing on the skills most relevant to your work.
