Generative AI for Everyone

AI literacy, not AI coding

Taught by AI pioneer Andrew Ng, Generative AI for Everyone is a beginner-level course built for a non-technical audience — it's about understanding what generative AI can and can't do, not writing model code. That framing shows in the skill list: strategy and literacy, not implementation.

What it focuses on

• How generative AI and large language models actually work, in plain terms
• Responsible AI use and the data-ethics questions it raises
• Prompt engineering basics and retrieval-augmented generation concepts
• Spotting realistic business-process automation opportunities

It's best suited to managers, product people, and anyone who needs to make informed decisions about AI without becoming a practitioner themselves. With over 815,000 learners, it's clearly resonated as a first, credible step for people who've felt overwhelmed by AI hype rather than helped by it.
