The Google AI courses (offered via Coursera) are online, self-paced, and designed to help people across all roles and industries get essential AI skills to boost their productivity, with zero experience required. The courses are taught by AI experts at Google who are working to make the technology helpful for everyone. After you complete each course, you’ll earn a Google Certificate to share on your resume, with your network and with potential employers. By using AI as a helpful collaboration tool, you can set yourself up for success in today’s dynamic workplace — and you don’t even need programming skills to use it.

In under 10 hours for each course, you'll do more than learn about AI — you will see how to actually use it in the real world. For example:

• Are you stuck at the beginning of a project? You’ll learn how to use AI tools to generate ideas and content.
• Are you planning an event? You’ll use AI tools to help research, organize, and make more informed decisions.
• Are you drowning in a flooded inbox? You’ll use AI tools to help speed up those daily work tasks, like drafting email responses.
• You’ll also learn how to write effective prompts and use AI responsibly by identifying AI’s potential biases and avoiding harm.
