About the module

This module focuses on enabling professionals to responsibly integrate generative AI tools into systems such as customer support chatbots, content generation workflows, or triage applications. Participants will explore the unique challenges of generative AI, will learn to evaluate generative AI tools, anticipate and mitigate risks like hallucination or misuse, and implement effective monitoring processes. Through interactive group work, participants will apply their knowledge to practical scenarios, ensuring their organization can harness the potential of generative AI tools while maintaining ethical and operational standards.

Learning Outcomes

Understand the unique risks of generative AI: Recognize how generative AI differs from other AI systems.
Evaluate Generative AI Tools for Organizational Fit: Assess prebuilt generative AI tools to determine their appropriateness for specific business applications.
Implement Technical Guardrails: Learn about techniques such as red-teaming, adversarial testing, and jailbreak prevention to maintain system reliability.
Establish frameworks for review, build-in of guardrails, empowerment of technical and non-technical teams.

Who is this module for?

All AI professionals, including executive leaders, Data Scientists, ML/AI engineers, AI developers, AI product managers, AI consultants and investors.

Tailored for all participants but is recommended for those with a foundational understanding of AI concepts and basic technical knowledge of AI systems.
