What you will learn in the course

This lesson is part of the course Put AI to work in your business

• Explain, on a concrete case, why an AI assistant makes things up, forgets or misses recent information, and decide how to use it accordingly.
• Sort data before giving it to an AI tool (allowed, anonymize first, forbidden) and configure the tool to match.
• Choose which tasks to hand to AI and how to work with it (automate, assist, delegate) based on value, risk and the data involved.
• Write a complete request (task, context, examples, format, constraints) and improve it over at least two documented iterations.
• Pick the right tool for a deliverable and justify the choice on data, cost, licensing and integration.
• Check AI output against an explicit checklist (facts, figures, sources, tone, compliance) before using it.
• Turn a successful use into a reusable workflow with human checkpoints, and set the team's rules of use in an AI policy.
