Lesson 3: Getting Started with AI | Ethan Mollick

Centaurs from Greek mythology and cyborgs from science fiction aren’t often paired. But Professor Ethan Mollick suggests that, by doing so, we can better understand how to begin using generative AI. For example, would you prefer a dividing line between your work and AI’s on a given task — like the clear delineation between a centaur’s human head and equine body? Go Centaur. If you’d rather blend your work with AI’s — like a cyborg blending human and digital parts — the Cyborg is for you. In this video lesson, Mollick helps you use AI effectively to boost innovation and performance in your work. Learning objectives: Identify tasks where AI can enhance your performance.
