AI Literacy Skills at Work: Safe, Ethical and Effective Use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI) are rapidly transforming the way we work, communicate and solve problems. Whether you realise it or not, AI is embedded in everyday tasks – from spam filters in your inbox to virtual assistants like Copilot and ChatGPT. With this transformation comes a need for AI literacy – understanding how AI works, how to use it effectively and how to mitigate risks. This AI training course has been designed to equip all staff with the necessary AI literacy skills and knowledge to make informed decisions and use AI and GenAI systems responsibly at work.
Overview

Prepare Your Workforce for the AI-Driven Future

As AI becomes more embedded in the workplace, it brings both significant opportunities and complex challenges. While AI tools can boost productivity and streamline operations, they also pose risks related to data security and legal compliance.

These risks affect not only individuals but the organisation as a whole. However, with the right preventative measures, including comprehensive AI literacy training for all staff, organisations can effectively manage these risks.

The EU AI Act requires organisations to ensure their staff attain a sufficient level of AI literacy. Although the EU AI Act does not apply directly in Northern Ireland, its provisions may still affect organisations and their employees in certain circumstances.

This all-staff eLearning course equips employees with the essential skills to use AI and GenAI tools safely, ethically and effectively. The training supports compliance with the EU AI Act and data protection legislation while promoting a culture of responsible AI use.

To enhance our ability to provide cutting-edge learning solutions, we have integrated AI tools for eLearning into this course.
