You will follow live demonstrations and complete two guided individual exercises using your own device. For the best learning experience, we recommend bringing a fully charged laptop. If you cannot bring a laptop, an iPad, other tablet or smartphone is also suitable. No previous AI experience or paid ChatGPT subscription is required. The ChatGPT Free plan is sufficient for every required activity.What you will learn Who this is for This course is designed for absolute beginners and members of the general public who are comfortable with basic use of a laptop, tablet or smartphone.
