# AI Prompt Engineering for the Workforce (Self-Paced)

Canonical URL: <https://www.creativelive.com/classes/ai-prompt-engineering-for-the-workforce-self-paced>

## Overview

A practical grounding in using generative AI responsibly at work. You will learn roughly how language models operate, then spend the course writing, refining, and evaluating prompts to get clearer and more useful results out of them.

Demonstrations, guided activities, and real examples give you hands-on practice applying AI to writing, analysis, summarization, and problem-solving. The course also covers multimodal prompting, the failure modes worth knowing about such as hallucination and bias, and the guardrails that keep AI use accurate, ethical, and secure.
