Forward-thinking leaders need to understand the impact and possibilities of AI—and set a clear direction even when an exact destination isn't clear yet. To accelerate an AI journey, we have to adopt new mindsets, see AI’s impacts on markets and society, practice with real AI tools, and de-mystify the underlying technologies.
This immersive bootcamp is designed to empower non-technical participants to take mindful action with AI initiatives while building practical skills to reality-check new projects.
It’s not enough to know a few cool prompts for ChatGPT—leaders today need to have a comprehensive understanding of generative AI tools, agentic AI and other forms of ‘machine coworkers.’ Focused on meeting the needs for ‘just in time’ education by executives and other leaders, this course will introduce AI modules under a simple and cohesive framework for digital transformation and AI readiness based in the experience and synthesis of a lead educator, Causeit Inc.’s CEO MJ Petroni, author of the AI & Digital Fluency Guide.
Unlike many ‘free’ AI courses from AI companies like OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or scattered videos, this fact-checked educational offering will be platform-agnostic, focused on transformation for existing businesses, and connected to a broader, comprehensive framework for digital transformation. And you will leave with a comprehensive, functional AI workflow that will immediately net you results.
