The whole course in five lines
- It's already in your tools — spam filters, photo tagging, fraud alerts. Lean into it on purpose.
- Two solid tools beat ten you never learn. One general chatbot, learned well, does most of the work.
- Guard your data. Nothing in a free tool you wouldn't post in public. Describe the situation, not the person.
- Own your output. It can invent facts with total confidence. Check its work before your name goes on it.
- Know the risks — then ask an attorney about the ones specific to your business.
AI advises. You decide.
Two Real Situations
Not trick questions — these are the two decisions that actually come up. Get through them and the certificate's yours.
You ask AI for statistics to put in a flyer for your business. It gives you three impressive-sounding numbers, fast, with no hesitation. What now?
A salesperson pitches you a $200/month AI tool built specifically for your industry. You've never used a general AI tool. Your move?
That's the course.
You now know more about using AI safely than most people who use it every day. Claim your certificate — you earned it.
