About This Course

Learning with AI: Working with your AI 'interns'.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), and more specifically Generative AI (GenAI) tools and services, are transforming how we learn and create. In this course, you will work with AI interns - your assistants that help you write, translate, research, code, listen, and create visuals. Like real interns, AI interns can be helpful but make mistakes, so they need clear guidance and supervision. You will explore different AI interns and practice using them in a series of engaging mini-labs, gaining hands-on experience that you can apply directly to your studies and projects.

By the end of the course, you will:

•  Learn using AI effectively, treating AI tools as helpful interns that support your study process.
• Use practical workflows and strategies to integrate different AI interns into your learning routine.
• Apply AI tools for writing, researching, coding, and creating to improve productivity and understanding.
• Evaluate and guide AI outputs responsibly, ensuring accuracy and ethical use in academic contexts.
