AI Fundamentals Series

AI Fundamentals

Four hands-on sessions that take you from curious to capable — what AI really is, what it can and can't do, and how to fold it into your everyday work. Grounded, plainspoken, no hype.

The sequence

From curious to capable

Four 2-hour sessions · optional +1-hour guided lab per session

Session 01

How AI Actually Works

The plain-language mental model.

  • The landscape — the models and companies that matter
  • How LLMs work — prediction, tokens, and training, in plain terms
  • Capabilities & limits — what it's great at, and what it isn't
  • Hallucinations — why it's confidently wrong sometimes
  • The major tools — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and friends
  • Myth vs. reality — cutting through the hype
Session 02

Working with AI

How to actually talk to it.

  • Prompting basics — clear asks and good context
  • Giving it material — files, links, and examples
  • Iteration — steering, correcting, and refining
  • Roles & framing — setting it up to help
  • Structured output — getting results you can use
  • Everyday wins — real tasks, made faster in the room
Session 03

AI in Your Day-to-Day

Where it earns its keep.

  • Writing & editing — drafts, tone, and polish
  • Research & summarizing — digesting a lot, fast
  • Analysis — spreadsheets, data, and decisions
  • Meetings — notes, recaps, and follow-ups
  • Learning — AI as a patient, on-demand tutor
  • Your habit — building an AI routine that sticks
Session 04

Judgment & What's Next

Using it well — and keeping up.

  • Privacy & data — what's safe to share, and where
  • Verification — trust, check, and cite
  • Bias & ethics — using AI responsibly
  • Rules at work — simple guidelines for a team
  • What's coming — agents and the near future
  • Staying current — keeping up without drowning
