Core workplace AI literacy

AI Fundamentals
for Work.

Employees practice the decisions that make generative AI useful and defensible—from selecting approved tools and protecting information to verifying output, controlling automated actions, and preserving human accountability.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

A shared baseline for responsible AI use.

This course is designed for employees and contractors who use, evaluate, or encounter AI-assisted work. It focuses on durable judgment rather than instructions for a particular vendor or model.

01 · UNDERSTAND

Recognize what AI does

Treat fluent output as a plausible draft rather than guaranteed truth, current research, or human reasoning.

02 · CONTROL

Use approved tools and data

Match the task, account, permissions, and minimum necessary information to organizational policy.

03 · VERIFY

Check consequential output

Confirm sources, calculations, rights, assumptions, and impact with the qualified decision owner.

04 · ACCOUNT

Keep people responsible

Limit AI agency, retain meaningful human approval, and report manipulation or unexpected behavior.

COURSE CURRICULUM

01

How generative AI works

Capabilities, limits, plausible output, and the approved-purpose-to-human-review safe-use loop.

02

Approved tools and sensitive information

Shadow AI, broad permissions, prompts as disclosures, data minimization, and escalation.

03

Bounded prompting and verification

Reviewable prompts, marked unknowns, primary-source checks, and accountable subject-matter review.

04

Bias, rights, and high-impact decisions

Consequential uses, qualified oversight, intellectual property, licensing, and normal approval controls.

05

Prompt injection and AI agents

Untrusted content, excessive permissions, limits, monitoring, reversible actions, and human approval.

06

Synthetic impersonation and assessment

Trusted-channel verification followed by ten server-selected scenarios covering every core topic.

Scope: This is general workplace AI literacy training. Organization-specific policies, approved tools, regulated obligations, and role requirements still govern each learner's work.
