We see lots of news reports of Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, making mistakes and producing inaccurate information. Many of these mistakes happen because humans use the tools in the wrong way - trying to solve unsuitable problems and not thinking about risk. Hallucination isn't a bug, it's a feature when you approach problems correctly. This course teaches techniques for determining if a problem fits Generative AI's capabilities, framing problems to reduce risk, prompt engineering for trust, and appropriate human engagement in the process. Students learn concrete prompt designs, how to check outputs, how to use Generative AI for ideation and creation, ways to augment human skills, and more ethical, beneficial applications.

Took its as the 3rd course in the specialisation of Prompt engineering. Very insightful throughout all the courses. Jules is a very involved teacher. I have really found an interest for this subject.

Highly informative. The assignments were mildly daunting because some did involve formats that I needed to practice. Overall, incredibly eye-opening regarding the scope of GenAi.

Critical knowledge on appropriate use of AI, human first & last, with ethical and fact-checking central to the learning. Probably should change my new business from HI+AI to HI+AI+HI....
