Library - Mastering Generative AI: Essential skills for the digital age: Generative AI in everyday industries

This course on Generative AI Literacy is designed to equip you with the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to navigate the AI-driven landscape.

Generative AI isn't just a fancy term; it's something that touches many areas of our lives, even in ways that can help or influence your studies. Let's break it down with examples that are easy to understand:

STEP 1: Entertaiment and media

What It Does: Creates content like writing, music, and videos.
Student Example: Imagine you're working on a multimedia project. Generative AI can help you compose background music for your video presentation or even generate a short story for your creative writing assignment.

STEP 4: Education:

What It Does: Generates content for learning materials and helps with language learning.
Student Example: AI can create quizzes, flashcards, or even help you practice a new language by providing translations or pronunciation guides, making study sessions more interactive.

STEP 2: Marketing and advertising

What It Does: Writes personalized ads and product descriptions, and targets the right audience.
Student Example: If you're studying business or marketing, AI can help you create mock marketing campaigns. For example, generating product descriptions or ads for a fictional product as part of your coursework.
 

STEP 5: Manufacturing and Industry

What It Does: Predicts when machines will need maintenance and checks for product defects.
Student Example: In an engineering course, you might learn about AI’s role in maintaining factory equipment or ensuring the quality of products on an assembly line.

STEP 3: Design and creative arts:

What It Does: Helps in creating logos, digital art, and even fashion designs.
Student Example: In a graphic design course, you could use AI to generate a unique logo for a project or experiment with different styles of digital art.

STEP 6: Science and research

What It Does: Analyses data and models scientific phenomena.
Student Example: If you’re conducting research, AI can help by analysing complex datasets, creating simulations, or visualising your findings in a clear, understandable way.
