Generative AI tools are increasingly part of everyday work across many roles. You do not need to be a machine learning researcher to use them well, but you do need some practical skills.
Prompt design
Clear instructions, relevant context and examples lead to better output. Treat prompts like specifications.
Evaluating output
AI systems can produce confident but incorrect answers. Learn to verify facts, test code and check reasoning.
Working with your own data
Techniques such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) let AI tools answer questions using your organisation's documents.
Responsible use
Understand your organisation's policies on data privacy, intellectual property and disclosure.
Automation
Combining AI with simple scripts and APIs can remove repetitive work. Basic Python skills go a long way here.
