Know exactly where your data goes before you hit enter — the rules that let you use AI without leaking what matters.

- Identify items on the Never-Paste List so you never expose sensitive information by accident
- Distinguish between personal AI accounts and your company's secured account, and know which to use when
- Recognize AI-powered scams and manipulation tactics before they succeed on you
- Apply a clear set of firm rules that let you get AI's benefits without causing a data breach
Where this leads
AI Foundations
You understand what AI is, how it works, and how to put it to work — without the hype or the myths.
Questions people ask before they start
Is this course technical, or is it for everyone at the company?
It's built for anyone using AI tools at work, not just engineers. The lessons focus on practical judgment — what not to feed AI, which account to use, and how to spot manipulation — not coding or technical setup.
Why is this called the most important course in the track?
Because the other AI University courses teach you to build with AI, and this one teaches you where the lines are so that building doesn't turn into a data breach. It covers the specific things — like the Never-Paste List and account separation — that prevent real damage.
What exactly is the 'Never-Paste List'?
It's a lesson within the 'What Not to Feed It' module that lays out categories of information you should never paste into an AI tool. The course walks through what belongs on that list and why.
Does this cover company AI accounts specifically, or just general AI safety?
Both. There's a dedicated lesson comparing personal AI accounts versus your company's secured account, so you understand which one to use and what the difference actually means for your data.
How does this course address scams, not just accidental leaks?
The 'Staying Safe' module includes a lesson on spotting AI-powered scams and manipulation, covering the other side of the risk — not just what you might accidentally expose, but how AI can be used against you.
How long is the course and what format is it?
It's structured as two modules — 'What Not to Feed It' and 'Staying Safe' — made up of four focused lessons total, designed to be worked through directly rather than padded with filler content.
