Now trending—artificial intelligence skills: Recent discussions with business professionals have highlighted the growing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in business and the demand for AI literacy as a core workforce skill.
In response to this growing trend, we’ve developed three Action Briefs exploring the role of AI in the workforce.
The first Action Brief, AI at Work: Prompt Engineering, highlights the significance of prompt engineering, the process of designing and optimizing prompts (or instruction) to guide generative AI models, as a vital skill in the workplace.
We recommend pairing this Action Brief with the following performance indicators (PIs) and lesson modules (LAPs):
