An online training course to use generative AI at work with method, caution, and professional judgment.

In many workplaces, generative AI has already found its place: people are trying it out to rephrase, summarize, come up with ideas, structure content, or save time on certain tasks. But when you’re just starting out, it can be hard to know where to begin, what kind of requests to make, when to use it… and, most importantly, how to keep your professional judgment along the way.

This course is designed for people who want to get comfortable with generative AI in their day-to-day work, without technical jargon and without the pressure to become an expert. This is not a course on the detailed inner workings of tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, or Gemini, nor is it a technical workshop to learn all of their features. Instead, the goal is to adopt the right reflexes to use AI in a concrete, cautious, and responsible way.

Through simple examples, scenarios, and individual exercises, you’ll learn how to identify realistic tasks where AI can help, better frame your requests, recognize the tool’s limits, and validate results before using them. You’ll leave with an AI test ready to launch in your work context.

By exploring the various sections of this training, you will be able to:

Identify simple tasks in your work where generative AI can be tried out in a meaningful way
Prepare an effective AI request by clarifying the task, context, expectations, and limits of the desired result
Use generative AI within a responsible framework where people maintain oversight, validation, and final decision-making

Identify the characteristics of a good first AI test
Recognize examples of relevant uses and those to avoid at first

Understand that even a clear, well-written, or convincing result needs to be validated before being used

Preparing an AI test

Choose a task that is simple, useful, reviewable, low-risk, and compatible with your work context
