Step into the future of education, problem-solving, and daily life optimization with this specialization in Generative AI. Designed for educators, professionals, and lifelong learners alike, this program equips you with the tools to harness the transformative power of ChatGPT and GPT Vision.

ChatGPT and other large language models are going to be more important in your life and business than your smartphone, if you use them right. ChatGPT can tutor your child in math, generate a meal plan and recipes, write software applications for your business, help you improve your personal cybersecurity, and that is just in the first hour that you use it. 

The course will give you a primer that covers what Generative AI is, basic prompt engineering, and how you can innovate with Generative AI. You will learn the ACHIEVE framework for using Generative AI to innovate in a way that augments and amplifies human creativity and problem solving rather than supplanting people. You will learn how Generative AI is going to replace the GUI and programming as our dominant interface to computing and why you will be using it every day at work.

Generative AI Primer

Despite what you may have heard, ChatGPT offers exciting possibilities for supporting innovative teaching and personalized education. This course provides practical techniques that any educator, from K-12 to higher education, can use to help support their teaching. No experience with ChatGPT, prompt engineering, or Generative AI is required.

In this course, you will learn how to do exciting things to support your teaching and student learning, such as:

1. How to brainstorm lesson plans that integrate learner interests and needs, such as generating a lesson plan to teach fourth graders about fractions using concepts from Pokemon

2. Create interactive games and turning them into concrete educational materials that you can print, such as creating a game inspired by World Cup Soccer and creating a PDF of the necessary game pieces

3. Generating engaging class activities, such as having students design fictional characters based on vocabulary and then generating funny fill in the blank stories based on the dialog

4. Helping students think of new and innovative ways of solving problems, such as generating possible ideas for building a bridge out of paperclips and plastic bottles that could support a person

5. Generating personalized quizzes on the fly that students can use to test themselves on topics and incorporate their interests, such as creating a Geometry quiz that a student can customize on the fly to use questions based on BMX bicycle racing

The techniques taught are adaptable to almost any subject and student level.

Innovative Teaching with ChatGPT

Imagine a world where your photos don't just capture memories, but also become intelligent assistants, helping you navigate and manage daily tasks. Welcome to "GPT Vision: Seeing the World Through Generative AI", a course designed to revolutionize how you interact with the world around you through the lens of Generative AI and photos.

In this course, you will learn to how take a picture of anything and turn it into: 

- a recipe
- a shopping list
- DIY plans to make it
- a plan to reorganize it
- a description for a social media post
- organized text for your notes or an email
- an expense report or personal budget entry

This course will teach you how to harness GPT Vision's power to transform ordinary photos into problem-solving tools for your job and personal life. No experience is required, just access to GPT-4(V) Vision, which is part of the ChatGPT+ subscription. Whether it's ensuring you've ticked off every item on your grocery list or creating compelling social media posts, this course offers practical, real-world applications of Generative AI Vision technology.

GPT Vision: Seeing the World through Generative AI

We see lots of news reports of Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, making mistakes and producing inaccurate information. Many of these mistakes happen because humans use the tools in the wrong way - trying to solve unsuitable problems and not thinking about risk. Hallucination isn't a bug, it's a feature when you approach problems correctly. This course teaches techniques for determining if a problem fits Generative AI's capabilities, framing problems to reduce risk, prompt engineering for trust, and appropriate human engagement in the process. Students learn concrete prompt designs, how to check outputs, how to use Generative AI for ideation and creation, ways to augment human skills, and more ethical, beneficial applications.

The course will show how you can:

- Leverage prompt engineering techniques to generate more reliable outputs
- Master methods to verify and validate outputs
- Frame problems in alternative ways to reduce risk
- Apply generative AI for creative ideation
- Use Generative AI in ways that augment rather than replace human reasoning and creativity
