In the open-to-all course “AI in Action: Intro to Prompt Engineering,” Continuing Education introduces learners to ethical considerations in generative artificial intelligence, prompt creation skills, and how to work with generated texts. It features the Prompt and Verify Tool, along with other useful tools designed to enhance productivity.

Instructor Dave Cormier says: “Like search, spreadsheets and spellcheckers, Generative AI is going to be a part of our everyday work lives, we need to understand how to use it ethically and effectively.”

During the two-hour course, participants will learn techniques for developing concise GenAI prompts, setting goals, role-playing, applying constraints, framing context, and iterating for optimal results. The course also covers applying ethical considerations and verification methods to ensure the accuracy and reliability of AI-generated content. Additionally, it addresses common pitfalls to help participants avoid challenges and maximize the technology’s potential.
