AI Literacy Essentials
A short, practical course on what AI is, where it goes wrong, what data must never go into it, and when to raise a concern. It supports the AI literacy measures Article 4 of the EU AI Act expects, and your completion record can be kept as evidence.
What you'll be able to do
- Explain in plain words what AI and generative AI are, and what they can't do.
- Recognise the main risks in everyday use: wrong answers, bias, deep fakes, prompt injection and over-trust.
- Decide what data can go into an AI tool, and use approved tools only.
- Describe what the EU AI Act and GDPR mean for your daily work.
- Know when and how to escalate an AI concern or mistake.
