AI Fundamentals will boost your understanding of how AI works and equip you with practical skills to use AI effectively. 

Staff at UNSW can now access a new short course, AI Fundamentals, that will give you the knowledge and skills to use AI as part of your role.

Hear from Provost Professor Vlado Perkovic about this innovative course.

AI Fundamentals was developed collaboratively by UNSW Business School, UNSW Lifelong Learning and UNSW IT. Recognising the significance of AI in our work, we are offering this course free to all permanent and fixed-term staff. 

The course offers immediate actionable knowledge and skills for using AI in the workplace. It features 8 to 10 hours of online, self-paced content and reflective activities that will build your understanding of AI tools and give you the confidence to use them effectively as part of your role.

You will learn how to: 

  • evaluate the ethical implications and privacy concerns related to AI use, ensuring that AI technologies are adopted and managed in alignment with ethical standards and individual privacy rights
  • employ critical thinking and decision-making skills to assess the suitability of AI in a range of contexts and to use this analysis and assessment to make informed decisions about the implementation of AI technologies
  • strategically plan and incorporate AI technologies at a task level into organisational workflows and processes for various roles, ensuring adequate resourcing and support for effective AI usage and broad productivity benefits
  • gain proficiency in the design and formulation of prompts and inputs for AI systems to generate more successful responses and outputs for AI models.
