Generative AI courses for your mom

Written\ Created \ Syndicated by Taofeek Folami

I know it’s cliché, but I AM actually trying to help my mom understand Generative AI a little more (hi, mom!).

I just completed this free course, and recommend it as a gentle introduction to generative AI: Destination AI: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. It will require an investment of time, though maybe not quite the 6 hours it claims. The only big drawback is that if you fail a quiz, you’ll have to wait a full 24 hours before you can re-take it. That said, you CAN move on to another module even if you don’t pass the quiz, so not that big a deal.

What will you learn?

  • What AI really is (and what it’s not!).
  • The impact of artificial intelligence on the workplace and on society as a whole.
  • Go behind the scenes of an artificial intelligence project and get familiar with concepts like deep learning and machine learning.

What if your mom’s a teacher? I haven’t actually taken this course, but Google offers Generative AI for Educators, which is shorter, at only 2 suggested hours.

You’ll learn how to use generative AI tools to:

  • Save time on everyday tasks like drafting emails and other correspondence
  • Personalize instruction for different learning styles and abilities
  • Enhance lessons and activities in creative ways
