AI Fundamentals: From Concept to Safe Use

A foundation programme for anyone bringing AI into daily work: how it works, how to direct it properly, and where to stop with corporate data.

Duration: 1 day
Format: On-site / Online
Level: Introductory
Category: Artificial Intelligence

The real obstacle to AI adoption is not a lack of tools; it is not knowing how far to trust it. This programme builds the habit of using it and the reflex of checking it at the same time. No technical background required.

Who it is for

Teams aiming for AI literacy across the organisation
Professionals who tried the tools and gave up on regular use
Managers who want to turn AI use into policy

By the end of this programme

Understand how generative models work and why they can be wrong
Hand repetitive daily tasks to AI in the right way
Write effective prompts with context, role and format
Develop the reflex of verifying output
Know the data-protection limits when working with corporate data

Programme content

What AI is and what it is not

How generative models work, probability-based generation, the source of hallucination, and the model not knowing what it does not know.

First uses in daily work

Summarising, drafting, translating, tidying tables and writing email — the uses that pay off from day one.

Writing good prompts

Giving context, defining a role, specifying output format, guiding with examples and asking for step-by-step reasoning.

The verification reflex

Checking output, asking for sources, testing numerical claims and seeing the limits of the model.

Data security and privacy

What must never be typed into a model, corporate versus personal accounts, retention policies and internal usage rules.

A personal usage plan

Each participant picks three workflows from their own job, applies them in the workshop and commits to a weekly plan.
