    • Welcome to the course

      This course explores the considerations and concerns surrounding the use of Generative AI tools in organisations. 

      Particular care needs to be taken at three distinct points when considering the use of GenAI tools: 

      1. Before using GenAI tools. 
      2. While GenAI tools are being used. 
      3. After using GenAI tools.

      For managers and leaders in organisations looking to understand these, and the steps to be taken before deploying any GenAI tools within an organisation, this course will serve as an introduction. It will outline the key things that should be given consideration and will highlight some areas of legal compliance that need to be accommodated before any uses of GenAI tools. 

      This course assumes you that you have some understanding of how GenAI and Large Language Models (LLMs) work. If you are not sure about this, or would find a refresher useful, we recommend you start with the first course in the series, Understanding Generative AI

      It also assumes that you have an understanding of the risks and concerns surrounding the use of GenAI in organisations. If you are not sure about this, or would like to explore this, we recommend that you complete – or revisit – the sixth course, Navigating risk management.

      It further assumes that you have, or are working on, an organisational GenAI policy. If you are not sure about this, we recommend that you complete – or revisit – the third course, Key considerations for successful Generative AI adoption

      This is a self-paced course of around 180 minutes including a short quiz. 

      A digital badge and a course certificate are awarded upon completion. To receive these, you must complete all sections of the course and pass the course quiz.

      To be able to do the quiz and gain your digital badge, you must enrol on the course.
