In this friendly, beginner-focused AI Basics course, we'll pair clear explanations with hands-on practice, so you can experiment with AI and build real confidence using it in daily life. You'll learn what AI actually does, how to prompt it, how to fact-check it and when to leave it alone. Whether you're looking to stay informed, satisfy your curiosity, or simply feel more at ease with new technology, you'll leave with practical skills and learn to use AI wisely.
