We make extensive use of generative AI because it is a critical tool in the modern workplace.

There are no prerequisites. The programming language we will be using is R. You must have a computer (or tablet) which can access the internet. The course material is all free, but you must spend $10 for direct access to a leading AI model. The course is designed for absolute beginners. Neither programming nor statistics experience is required.
