Three things to apply straight away
Apply these three things straight away in your next AI task. Together they form the core of these ten minutes:
- Turn the question around. Supply the facts yourself and ask the model to do something with them, instead of asking it what the facts are.
- In every output, mark the three risk categories for yourself: numbers, names and references to regulations. Always check these against the source.
- Ask the intern question before you send anything. Would you believe this if an intern had handed it in, or would you check it?
Take a task you are doing this week anyway and carry it out once following these three points. It costs you five extra minutes and shows you straight away where the model nearly tripped you up.
Where to go from here with this approach
Taking this approach further means moving from a single technique to a complete way of working. Remembering three points works for a single task. For recurring work, you need a fixed structure that does not depend on whether you happen to think of it that day.
If you mainly work with ChatGPT on your own, the full course is the logical next step. In eight to nine hours, including practical assignments, you build a way of working around a task from your own work. It covers the five elements of a usable prompt, three basic applications, one workflow of your own with checkpoints and five check questions. You finish with a final assignment and a certificate.
For a team, the question is a different one. Five colleagues who each follow their own rules on what they enter into AI do not add up to an organisation that has AI under control. In that case, start with the AI literacy course, which is vendor-neutral and ends with an internal AI policy. For teams of five or more employees there are two team products: AI literacy for teams and the office licence with all four courses. You can find both under AI training for businesses.
Thank you for your time. What you have seen here is exactly the tone and structure of the full material, so you now know what you are signing up for.
