Course Description
AI is no longer just for tech teams.
It’s shaping every part of business.
From HR and finance to sales, customer support, and marketing, tools like ChatGPT and Copilot are changing the way we work.
But with opportunity comes risk: data leaks, compliance issues, and biased or inaccurate outputs.
That’s why every employee needs a clear, practical foundation in how to use AI safely, responsibly, and productively.
AI at Work: What Every Employee Needs to Know About AI is a fast-paced, interactive course designed for non-technical professionals.
In under 30 minutes, learners will:
Understand AI fundamentals — what AI is, how it works, and why it matters.
Spot risks and bias — recognize when AI outputs are misleading, unfair, or fabricated.
Protect company data — follow simple guardrails to avoid leaks, privacy breaches, and compliance failures.
Use prompts effectively — apply proven prompting techniques and grounding strategies to get reliable outputs.
Evaluate AI results — verify facts and reduce errors before sharing or acting on AI-generated content.
To make learning stick, the course includes:
Quizzes to check knowledge after key modules.
Practical exercises where learners try out prompts and spot hallucinations.
Real-world examples and case studies — from productivity wins to costly AI mistakes.
Clear checklists employees can apply immediately in their daily work.

It’s especially valuable for organizations that want to build AI literacy across the company, reduce compliance risks, and unlock safe productivity gains.

Hi, I’m Diogo Resende, a data scientist, AI educator, course creator, and startup founder.
I believe data, analytics, and AI should feel practical, approachable, and useful, and definitely not intimidating, overly academic, or disconnected from real work. My goal is to help people understand not just how technology works, but how to use it to solve meaningful business problems, build useful projects, and grow their careers.
For more than a decade, I’ve worked at the intersection of data, business, and technology, helping people and companies turn complex problems into practical, data-driven decisions. My background combines hands-on industry experience, business strategy, analytics, machine learning, forecasting, A/B testing, commercial planning, and generative AI.
That mix of technical depth and business context shapes the way I teach. I create learning experiences that are clear, practical, and focused on real outcomes. Over the years, I’ve taught tens of thousands of learners through online courses covering Python, data science, statistics, time series forecasting, RAG, AI agents, and modern AI tools.

I found this Udemy course very useful. The content was well structured, easy to follow, and covered the key concepts in a practical way. I particularly liked the hands-on exercises, as they helped reinforce the theory and apply what I learned to real business situations. The FitJourney case study was especially valuable because it encouraged critical thinking about AI adoption, business strategy, and decision-making. Overall, it was a well-designed course with relevant examples and effective learning activities.

He is clearly knowledgable but is explaining things in ways that are easy to understand. Again the content is very informative, detailed, but also concise. I like his conversational approach to the lecture.
By Rob Hodges on 6/20/2026
I was looking for exactly this. I wanted to know what further training I would need in AI, which starts with a basic understanding of what it is and the definition of basic terms. It gave me that. Now I know I at least need to learn prompt engineering well, before I move on to workflows and eventually AI agents.

Great overview of how to use AI tools responsibly in a work setting. Provides generic examples of real life situations which can be encountered at work.

The advertisement at the end left a bad taste in my mouth.

By Taiwo Osunlana on 4/10/2026
I find the course exceptional from others because it explains the bias and data privacy aspect of AI clearly. More honest and enlightening. For the first time I am seeing AI as a tool!
