## Learning Goals

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

* [ ] AI Literacy:
  * [ ] Describe how Large Language Models (LLMs) work at a basic level.
  * [ ] Explain what Generative AI (AI) is, what it's good at, and its limitations.
  * [ ] Identify appropriate and inappropriate uses of AI in the workplace.
  * [ ] Practice how you can use AI to help you learn effectively, rather than just providing answers.
  * [ ] Recognize common risks related to AI usage, such as bias, copyright, hallucinations, misinformation, and privacy concerns.
  * [ ] Reflect on how AI is changing work and skill expectations (and what we don't know yet!).
* [ ] Prompting:
  * [ ] Apply simple prompting techniques to get useful outputs from GitHub Copilot.
  * [ ] Evaluate AI outputs critically for accuracy and relevance.
  * [ ] Integrate AI prompting alongside other learning resources such as documentation, tutorials, and mentors.
  * [ ] Prompt responsibly to support your learning, in line with HYF guidelines and expectations.
