Objectives:

• Build foundational understanding of core AI concepts, from machine learning to generative and multimodal AI.
• Develop practical prompt-writing skills that improve the quality and reliability of AI outputs.

Course Outline:

• AI Decoded—From Machine Learning to Generative AI: Understand machine learning, deep learning, LLMs and generative AI in plain, practical language.
• One AI, Many Senses—Exploring Multimodal AI: Discover how AI now understands and creates text, images, audio and video together.
• Tool Talk—Strengths, Limits and the Right Fit: Compare common AI tools and learn when to trust, verify or avoid their outputs.
• Prompting Like a Pro—Structure, Clarity, Iteration: Master practical techniques to write precise prompts and refine results through iteration.
• From Prompt to Productivity—Automating Everyday Tasks: Apply prompting skills to draft, summarise, analyse and automate real work tasks.

Expected Outcomes:

• Explain key AI concepts (ML, deep learning, LLMs, generative and multimodal AI) with confidence.
• Write clear, effective prompts and iteratively improve AI-generated outputs.
• Apply prompting and automation skills to a real work task while using AI responsibly.
