Course Description
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, and Generative AI, are all the rage these days. Everyone's talking about revolutionary tools like ChatGPT, GPT-4, Perplexity, Gemini, CoPilot, etc.
The technology behind AI is complex and amazing. But what’s probably even more complex, and nuanced, is creating and using AI for Ethical Decisions, and using the right data to train the AI correctly. And thats what you will learn from this Course.
I am well aware of the technical basics of AI, having spent nearly 2 decades Leading and Managing Multiple Global Projects in the Software Industry.
But my expertise, and passion, lie in the area of Decision Making, Ethics, and Leadership Psychology.
So, this Course isn't about the technical nitty-gritty of AI, although I will be explaining the basics of AI, how it works etc. in simple terms. My focus will be in my areas of expertise, Decision Making and Ethics.
I will be looking at AI, from an Ethical Decision Making point of view. To help Leaders drive the creation, and use, of AI responsibly ! This Course is primarily for Leaders, but everyone can enjoy it, and learn something new from it !
There will be several examples and Case Studies, as well as a few Practice Exercises and Quizzes, to help you learn better from the Course.

Though I am aware of AI is, I was not aware of why it was created. This origin story was need. Also, the breakdown should be easy to remember and catch on quickly. I'm more amazed on how it is functioning than anything. How it it collecting data. For healthcare info, I found it odd to collect from cost.

The course provided the AI History and Cases of Biase that became important to people to examine the cases to understand how data can be msileading in determining AI information.

It was very dry, and hard to stay interested

This class on AI Ethics and Decision Making brings up many factors I had not considered in regards to introducing AI in the work space. The case studies helped conceptualize the content.
By Anonymized User on 3/18/2025
The course goes at an even pace, not assuming too much of its participants, and the sequence of modules is optimal.

A real eye opener. I now know that I will never get a job if I apply online. I am an old white male. thanks
