AI and Truth
A course for employees, teachers and students who use AI or come across its output. Without technical jargon, it explains how language models produce text and why their confident tone guarantees nothing. You will learn a practical way to check citations, figures and expert advice, find your way around deepfakes and synthetic media, and come away with clear rules for using AI safely and sensibly at work and in education. Every lesson includes real-world examples and interactive practice.
