Participants will learn how to start and manage AI conversations, apply prompt frameworks to common work tasks, and improve AI outputs through iteration and evaluation. The course also addresses multimodal prompting, AI limitations such as hallucinations and bias, and essential guardrails for ethical and secure AI use in government environments.

Through demonstrations, guided activities, and real-world examples, participants gain hands-on experience using AI assistants to support writing, analysis, summarization, and problem-solving tasks while maintaining accuracy, transparency, and compliance with government standards.
