AI for the non-Tech is a friendly, jargon‑free introduction to artificial intelligence designed for people who don’t come from a technical background. The course demystifies how AI works, shows where it shows up in everyday life, and builds the confidence to use AI tools safely, creatively, and effectively at work and beyond. Learners walk away with practical skills, clear frameworks, and a grounded understanding of how AI can support decision‑making, productivity, communication, and problem‑solving — without needing to write a single line of code.. 

The focus of this course is not coding but how to use it for work and Communicating Effectively With an Intelligent Assistant — a skill that is quickly becoming as essential as writing an email or leading a meeting. We live in a world where intelligent assistants are no longer futuristic tools; they are everyday collaborators. They help us think, write, plan, create, analyse, and solve problems at a speed and scale we’ve never experienced before.
