Working with Generative AI for Organizations

Generative AI has moved from novelty to infrastructure faster than any technology in living memory and the gap between what frontier systems can do and what most professionals know how to do with them is widening by the month. This four-day intensive course is designed to close that gap. Built for working professionals and policymakers, it pairs a clear, jargon-free account of how large language models actually work with extensive hands-on practice. Participants progress from writing effective prompts to designing reliable, multi-step workflows and supervising AI “agents” that can carry out real tasks. Throughout, we confront the myriad issues posed by generative AI, including hallucination, bias, data security, interpretability, and the ethical and governance questions every organization now faces, so that participants leave able to use these tools critically, productively, and responsibly. The course is taught by a working researcher who builds AI systems daily, using current frontier models and real use-cases drawn from policy, administration, analysis, and communications.
