The self-paced ‘Prompting Essentials’ course requires no previous experience and is available now on Coursera.
AI tools — like people — cannot read minds. As a result, they need effective communication to carry out tasks. When using AI models, that communication is called a prompt, which humans input into a chatbot to get a certain outcome. Productive prompting is a key to successful interaction with AI, and Google’s new course is designed to foster that.
On Monday, Google launched Prompting Essentials — a course developed by the AI experts at Google and DeepMind — that teaches users techniques to prompt AI tools effectively. According to Google, this course builds on AI Essentials, launched in April, which has become the most popular generative AI course on Coursera ever.
