For all the hand-wringing over artificial intelligence in recent months, in some ways, AI is like any other tool: Ideally, it won’t replace the work you do now, but it might help you do some things better or more efficiently. And while you may be able to figure out how to use it on your own, if you want to use it well, a little help can go a long way.

Getting results from ChatGPT is simple. Enter a command or question, and it will give you back an approximation of what it thinks the most correct response is. Using ChatGPT to get results you can actually rely on may take a little more effort, research, and practice.

If you want to learn how to use OpenAI’s ChatGPT effectively, you can enroll in the Introduction to ChatGPT from the International Open Academy. This 25-hour course shows you how to use AI for content creation, data analytics, research, and more. Right now, it will cost you $20 (reg. $80) for unlimited access to all course materials.

The course has potential to show you how to use AI to streamline your workload with time-saving help from ChatGPT, or use ChatGPT to help generate initial drafts of text articles you can then expand upon, rewrite, and (of course) fact check. You’ll need to watch out for AI “hallucinations”—though ChatGPT seems like an excellent time-saving tool, it may misuse or invent facts outright in its attempt to give you what you want.

This course is well-suited to professionals who want to demonstrate their AI expertise to potential clients (or prospective employers). The skills you take away from each lesson have a variety of applications, and the certification process might help you stand out from the crowd. To get certified, complete each lesson in full and answer the questions at the end of the module with a pass rate of 55% or greater. Once those requirements are met, you’ll get access to a PDF downloadable course certificate from an accredited educational platform.
