Course overview
Artificial intelligence can produce confident answers that sound accurate but contain errors, bias, or invented information. Understanding how these mistakes occur allows employees to recognize unreliable outputs before they affect decisions, communication, or credibility. Practical verification habits, stronger prompts, and thoughtful human oversight help teams use AI as a helpful assistant rather than an unquestioned authority.
