What you'll learn

The word "ethics" can call up memories of dull compliance training—but the questions that show up when you actually use AI at work are nothing like that. They're practical, they don't go away as the models improve, and more and more they fall to you. In this course, Generative AI Foundations: Ethics, Issues, and Limitations of Generative AI, you'll gain the ability to make responsible decisions when you use AI at work. First, you'll explore the everyday failure modes that land on you—hallucinations you have to catch and bias baked in from the training data. Next, you'll discover the harder questions of ownership, accountability, and persuasion: who owns what AI makes, who's responsible when it causes harm, and whose values are built into the tool. Finally, you'll learn how to weigh the real costs of these tools even when they work perfectly, and bring an intentional mindset to every decision you direct. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of AI ethics needed to make responsible decisions when you use AI at work.
