Core curriculum content

For all employees (Levels 1-2)

Understanding the nature of AI:

  • AI is a probabilistic, pattern-matching system (not 100% accurate)
  • Hallucinations can occur, so important information needs to be verified
  • AI is a tool that helps users — the final judgment call must be made by a human

Writing effective prompts:

  • The more specific and clear the instructions, the better the results
  • Include role, context, and the desired format
  • Providing examples leads to more accurate results

For developers and AI leads (Levels 3-4)

  • Designing and evaluating RAG pipelines
  • Advanced prompt engineering
  • Criteria for choosing AI models and optimizing cost
  • Principles of ethical AI development
