Before you begin
Starting point: No coding or previous AI training required.
Your output: A short briefing with a visible evidence record.
Read one guide, try its exercise, then explain the idea in your own words. Use fictional data while practicing.
Your reading sequence
- STEP 01
Understand the system
Explain the difference between a model, the application, and its available evidence.
Read: AI foundations → - STEP 02
Define a useful task
Write a prompt with an audience, source boundary, output format, and quality check.
Read: Better prompts → - STEP 03
Check the result
Trace three claims to their sources and label anything unresolved.
Read: Verify AI outputs →
Put the ideas together
- Write a 150-word briefing from fictional meeting notes.
- Separate supported facts from proposals and open questions.
- Attach a three-claim evidence record and explain one limitation.
Keep your first attempt and your revised version. Write a short note explaining what improved and what still needs checking.
Open the beginner practice modules →The convincing brief with unsupported claims
Audit an AI-assisted briefing, separate citation identity from claim support, and produce a defensible revision.
Work through the Beginner case →Check your readiness
- I can describe what information an AI application can actually access.
- I can write a bounded task with a checkable output.
- I can find unsupported details in a convincing answer.
Use these statements as reflection prompts, not a formal score. If one feels difficult, repeat the relevant exercise with a different example.
Take the next step
After your core project, use these guides to connect the learning to an operational decision.
