Gen AI in Companies: Basics, Applications and Data Protection

Format: online | Duration: 5 weeks | Completion: micro certificate

Do you use language models to develop a service? Whether it's for your employees or your customers, we all know that language models are powerful tools. We can use them to analyze texts, answer emails, write program code and much more.

But have you ever thought about how such a service should actually be designed? How do you formulate the prompts so that the language model delivers exactly what you, your colleagues or customers need? And what data does your service need to access?

Don't forget security issues! As soon as you start processing internal company data with an LLM, you should be aware of the potential risks. There are certain attack techniques, such as prompt injection, that you should definitely be aware of.

If you are not yet fully aware of these issues, our course could be just the thing for you!

Program

The 5-week course takes place entirely online. We meet weekly for 1-3 hours in a virtual classroom. You will receive digital learning materials that you can access at any time, especially in the first two weeks. Plan some extra study time for this.

We will cover the following content:

  • Week 1: GenAI Kick-Off 
  • Week 2: GenAI Q&A E-Learning 
  • Week 3: GenAI Use Case Canvas 
  • Week 4: GenAI Own Use Case 
  • Week 5: GenAI Exam

After this course you will be able to:

  • know the definition and functionality of Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs).
  • describe security risks such as prompt injection and apply strategies to avoid them.
  • describe your own GenAI use case and evaluate its feasibility.

Certification

Successful participants receive the micro-certificate “Gen AI and Data Protection”, which confirms their expertise in use cases, compliance and data security.

Certification is carried out by the Fraunhofer Personnel Certification Body.
