Common questions about AI Foundations
No. This session is designed for business leaders, not developers. If you can use email and a web browser, you have everything you need. We start from scratch and build up together.
You will understand what AI can and cannot do for your business, know the key risks to watch out for, and be able to write effective prompts that produce genuinely useful output. You will leave with skills you can use the same day.
No, AI Foundations works perfectly as a standalone session. However, each course builds on the last, so if you want to go deeper, AI in Practice is the natural next step.
