Google AI Essentials

Overview

Google AI Essentials is a self-paced course designed to help people across roles and industries get essential AI skills to boost their productivity, zero experience required. The course is taught by AI experts at Google who are working to make the technology helpful for everyone.

In under 10 hours, they’ll do more than teach you about AI — they’ll show you how to actually use it in the real world. Stuck at the beginning of a project? You’ll learn how to use AI tools to generate ideas and content. Planning an event? You’ll use AI tools to help research, organise, and make more informed decisions. Drowning in a flooded inbox? You’ll use AI tools to help speed up those daily work tasks, like drafting email responses. You’ll also learn how to write effective prompts and use AI responsibly by identifying AI's potential biases and avoiding harm. After you complete the course, you’ll earn a certificate from Google to share with your network and potential employers. By using AI as a helpful collaboration tool, you can set yourself up for success in today’s dynamic workplace — and you don’t even need programming skills to use it.
