Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday life, from how we search for information and write documents, to how organisations plan, analyse, and communicate. Understanding what AI is, what it can do, and where its limits are is increasingly important for individuals, workplaces, and communities.

Our Introduction to AI course is a beginner-friendly session designed to demystify artificial intelligence and explain how commonly available tools, such as ChatGPT, can be accessed and used safely, responsibly, and effectively. The course focuses on practical understanding rather than technical knowledge, making it accessible to learners with no prior experience.

Delivered in the approachable, practical Community Medics style, this session blends clear explanation with live demonstrations and guided discussion. Learners gain confidence in using AI as a supportive tool for everyday tasks such as writing, research, planning, and idea generation, while also understanding accuracy, bias, and ethical considerations.

​

The course covers the following subjects:

• What artificial intelligence is and how it works at a basic level

• Common examples of AI in everyday life and the workplace

• How to access and use tools such as ChatGPT

• Practical uses of AI for writing, research, and problem-solving
