Description: |
ChatGPT is increasingly present in everyday business work, but effective use depends on understanding what the tool is actually doing — and where its limits are. This course provides a clear, practical introduction to how ChatGPT works and how it is commonly used in professional environments, particularly in accounting and related roles. The session explains the basic role of large language models, addresses common misconceptions about AI, and walks through the ChatGPT interface to show how interactions are structured. Participants will see examples of effective prompting, understand typical strengths and failure modes, and learn how to recognize situations where human judgment and review are essential. This course is designed to provide clarity and confidence, not technical depth. It focuses on safe, responsible use and helps participants understand when ChatGPT can support their work — and when it should not. |
