15 Conclusion

Having studied this course, you now know more about the risks posed by GenAI use and the challenges posed by using it in an ad hoc manner, or in a way that is not structured.

This course has outlined some of the ways in which individuals and organisations can identify risks and mitigate against them, including the importance of ensuring there is a ‘human in the loop’, that there are appropriate mechanisms in place to determine how, when, and why it is being used, and appropriate guidance.

If you are considering using GenAI in your organisation, we suggest you look at the fifth course, Ethical and responsible use of Generative AI, which considers the ethical uses and considerations of AI tools.

For individuals responsible for managing organisations and who want to know more about the compliance aspects of using GenAI, we recommend the seventh course, Understanding legal regulation and compliance.

For individuals interested in finding out more about using GenAI, we would recommend the eighth course, Preparing for tomorrow: horizon scanning and AI literacy, which considers the future of GenAI.
