Amplifying AI Capabilities
In this module, you’ll compare how AI systems and humans solve problems, discovering where each excels. You’ll explore why AI systems sometimes struggle with simple tasks. You’ll also create a practical checklist to identify when AI can manage tasks independently. This will enable you to make smarter decisions when using AI to do everyday tasks.
Learning objectives
- Compare the capabilities of AI with human decision making in tasks
- Evaluate the effectiveness of AI in completing specific tasks based on its limitations
- Develop criteria for deciding whether a task is suitable for AI
Lessons
- AI and human capabilities and limitations
- AI effectiveness in task execution
- Evaluating AI task suitability

AI Applications in Society
In this module, you’ll explore how AI applications vary across the healthcare, consumer, financial, industrial, technology, and public sectors. Through practical examples and real-world scenarios, you’ll learn how to identify the efficiency gains that AI can provide, evaluate AI effectiveness using systematic criteria, and recognize complex, interdisciplinary challenges that require AI solutions spanning multiple sectors. You’ll also develop the skills to analyze AI applications, assess their real-world impact, and recommend appropriate AI implementations for complex, cross-sector challenges.
Learning objectives
- Analyze how AI improves efficiency in common tasks across different sectors
- Evaluate examples of how AI is applied in diverse areas of everyday life
- Recommend AI tool implementation for examples of interdisciplinary challenges
Lessons
- How AI drives efficiency across sectors
- AI solutions for societal problems
- AI and interdisciplinary challenges
Capstone project
2h 15m
Evaluate AI Use to Increase Efficiencies in Operational Workflows
In this capstone project, you will apply structured evaluation and governance reasoning as you guide MetroFleet Operations in making informed decisions about where AI fits into operational workflows, how much autonomy it should have, and what safeguards are required.
Learning objectives
- Develop criteria for deciding whether a task is suitable for AI based on capabilities
- Evaluate the effectiveness of AI in completing specific tasks based on its limitations
- Prioritize tasks for AI use based on ease and efficiency
- Evaluate the suitability of industry tasks for AI automation
- Evaluate examples of how AI is applied in diverse areas of everyday life
- Recommend AI tool implementation for examples of interdisciplinary challenges
Assessment
- In a project, you’ll answer questions to demonstrate your ability to design a plan to increase efficiencies using AI tools and strengthen governance. You will receive feedback with the goal of passing the project with a score of 80%. If you do not earn 80% or more on the first try, you can retry the project as many times as you want.
- Then, you’ll complete a 10-question assessment to demonstrate the knowledge and skills you applied in the project. You must get 80% to pass. You will receive feedback and can retry the assessment if needed.
