Artificial intelligence has moved from science fiction to everyday tools in just a few years, and it is now reshaping how we work, learn and communicate. Yet for many people AI remains a black box. This course gives a clear, jargon-free introduction to what artificial intelligence actually is, its history and the key terms, and the difference between the ‘narrow’ AI we use today and the general intelligence of the future.
It then explains, in accessible terms, how the technology works — machine learning, deep learning and neural networks, and the generative AI behind tools like ChatGPT — before turning to what matters most: using AI in the real world safely and responsibly. That includes its benefits and risks, bias, data privacy, accuracy and ‘hallucinations’, and how to get value from AI while keeping a human in the loop. It is an awareness-level course for anyone who wants to understand AI and use it with confidence and good judgement.
