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
