Why this course
You've heard the hype. Now what?
Everyone says AI will change everything. The real questions are "how does this affect me?" and "how can I use it safely and well?"
This course starts there, then puts you in charge. Join a hands-on workshop, and leave each session with a habit or skill you can use again.
The AI drafts. You decide.
What you'll learn
Two sessions, one skill at a time
Session 2
Practical uses, practical pitfalls
- How to spot AI-powered scams: polished fake texts, cloned voices, fake videos
- Setting AI up to do a repetitive or tedious job
