ChatGPT and Generative AI for the Workplace

Generative AI is changing how professionals research information, create content, analyze documents, communicate with customers, prepare reports, and manage everyday knowledge work. Effective workplace use, however, requires more than entering questions into an AI assistant. Professionals need to understand how generative AI works, how to structure prompts, how to evaluate AI-generated information, and when human review is essential. This ChatGPT and Generative AI for the Workplace course provides practical experience in using AI assistants for business tasks while addressing accuracy, confidentiality, copyright, bias, security, and responsible AI use. Participants will develop reusable prompting techniques and AI-assisted workflows that improve productivity without compromising professional judgment or organizational controls.
