AI Proficiency: Mastering Artificial Intelligence for Real-World Application

Use artificial intelligence on real work: choose a task, check the output, and keep a human responsible for the result.

Who it is for. People who already use AI tools at work and want a repeatable way to apply them.

What you will be able to do

Name the task before you open a tool.
Judge an answer against the source, not against how fluent it sounds.
Record what the tool did and what you changed.

Lessons

1. Name the job before the tool

Lesson · 40 minutes

Artificial intelligence is useful when the job is specific. “Help me with this” produces a generic draft. “Turn these three customer notes into a five-line status, and flag anything you cannot verify” produces something you can check.

2. Check the output against a source

Lesson · 45 minutes

A fluent answer can still be wrong. Compare every factual claim with a source you trust: the document you supplied, a system of record, or a person who owns the fact.

3. Keep a person on the result

Lesson · 35 minutes

The tool does not own the email, the recommendation, or the number. You do. Put your name on work you send, and only after you have read it.

4. Put it on one real task this week

Lesson · 30 minutes

Pick one repeating task you already do: a status note, a meeting summary, or a first draft of a procedure. Run it once with a written job sentence and a source you can check.

5. Check your understanding
