MasterClass

AI Fundamentals: Think, Create and Work Smarter

An approach to work that thoughtfully incorporates AI as a partner to enhance thinking, creativity, and efficiency—without replacing human judgment.

AI-first mindset

The underlying system trained on large datasets that generates responses to prompts. Examples include large language models (LLMs).

AI model

A custom GPT designed to reflect a user’s values, preferences, boundaries, and working style.

AI twin

Systematic patterns in AI outputs that reflect stereotypes, omissions, or unfair assumptions from training data or prompts.

Bias

Using AI to challenge assumptions, ask clarifying questions, and support deeper thinking before generating outputs.

Critical thinking mode

A personalized version of a generative AI system designed for a specific purpose, workflow, or audience.

Custom GPT

Providing examples of desired outputs within a prompt to guide the AI’s response.

Few-shot prompting

AI systems that create new content—such as text, images, audio, video, or code—based on patterns learned from data, rather than simply retrieving existing information.

Generative AI

When AI confidently invents facts, sources, or details that are not true or verifiable.

Hallucination

Designing workflows where humans retain oversight and final decision-making authority.

Human-in-the-loop

Coordinating people, AI tools, and workflows so each contributes where it’s strongest.

Orchestration

The response or content generated by the AI based on your prompt.

Output

The input you give an AI system (question, instruction, or context) that guides what it generates.

Prompt

The large collection of text, images, or other data used to train an AI model, shaping what it knows and how it responds.

Training data

Module 1 sets the foundation for the course by clarifying what AI is, why it matters now, and how it fits into the future of work. It replaces hype and anxiety with context and confidence, explains AI’s real capabilities and limits, and helps you reflect on your goals so you can move forward with purpose.
