What Is Generative AI? (4 Rise Points)

Whether you work in film, marketing, healthcare, automobile, or real-estate, generative AI is changing the way your job is executed, and those who adapt early will reap its benefits sooner. All professions will be affected by generative AI. Its invention can be compared to the invention of photography, a true creative revolution. If you want to be part of the leaders that are advancing this revolution, this course can get you started on your learning journey. In this course, generative AI expert Pinar Seyhan Demirdag covers the basics of generative AI, with topics including what it is, how it works, how to create your own content, different types of models, future predictions, and ethical implications.

Generative AI: The Evolution of Thoughtful Online Search (4 Rise Points)

For years, we’ve relied on search engines like Google and Bing to help us navigate the ever-evolving internet. But now that reasoning engines like Chat-GPT have come onto the scene, how can you prepare for the future of online search? In this course, instructor Ashley Kennedy shows you how to get up to speed with the key distinctions and best practices of using reasoning engines that leverage generative AI. Learn more about the core concepts of generative AI-driven reasoning engines and how they differ from search engine strategy. Along the way, Ashley interviews subject matter experts and offers easy-to-follow advice on how to harness the power of prompt engineering with thoughtful search strategies that help account for the nuances of language, tone, qualifiers, and more.

Streamlining Your Work with Microsoft Bing Chat (4 Rise Points)

AI chatbots are all the rage these days, but they’re often so misunderstood. Are they merely simple question-answering machines? Absolutely not. And they can completely change the way you work.

Learn how Bing Chat can perform a wide variety of tasks and help you streamline your entire workflow, from generating ideas and summarizing data to solving common work problems such as planning itineraries, scheduling, and communicating with coworkers. Follow along with Jess as she explains how to boost your productivity using Bing Chat, beginning with a quick primer on how chat AI tools function, then diving into how to put them to work for you. By the end of this course, you’ll be ready to perform robust online searches, generate ideas and compose text, automate your work, fact-check the results, and more.

Ethics in the Age of Generative AI (4 Rise Points)

The amazing potential and opportunity of Generative AI has also brought ethical concerns. How can you address these concerns effectively as you deploy tools and products powered by generative AI? In this course, expert Vilas Dhar equips designers and decision makers to better understand and act on the emerging ethical risks and considerations of generative artificial intelligence. Get a solid introduction to the ethical concerns around generative AI, then learn how to use a framework of ethical analysis to address these concerns. Plus, explore ways you can prepare your organization to address ethics in AI across all stakeholders from technology to C-Suite leaders.

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (8 Rise Points)

Computer scientists are just a small slice of people working in artificial intelligence. Most of the people working in AI are project managers, product managers, directors, and executives. People just like you. This course helps you grasp key concepts in artificial intelligence. You’ll see how AI can enhance your products, life, and career. AI has been around for over half a century. Even with its huge strides, the core ideas in machine learning and neural networks are still accessible. This course is designed for project managers, product managers, directors, executives, and students starting a career in AI. Get a high-level overview of the top tools in the field. First, see what it means for a system to display “intelligence.” Then, learn algorithms and techniques involved in machine learning, artificial neural networks, and deep learning. Once simplified, AI looks less like magic and more like an exciting new set of technology tools.
