    Relevant and reliable training that meets the demand for increasingly sophisticated communication skills.

    Understanding artificial intelligence as a useful team member—rather than a fully independent consultant—is crucial to leveraging its abilities. Much like Google search, which revolutionised the way information was indexed and presented, the technology underpinning AI is best utilised when enhancing rather than replacing human input. This is because while an AI can produce convincing-looking text many times faster than people, the system relies on emulating our behaviours. In other words, AI takes it directions from human expertise. Better the expertise, better the AI performs. This partnership of competencies is what powers effective AI-assisted content creation.

    This course focuses on helping participants understand the usefulness of AI as a tool to help write quality content. We will explore a range of AI tools on the market, and learn the ones that best fit our specific needs. Importantly, we will learn how to make AI fit with our standards and objectives for written communication, instead of trying to force content strategies to fit within the confines of the technology. Upon completing this writing course for AI, you will be able to enhance your writing capabilities and further streamline your content processes by matching the right tools to your writing projects.
