The 12 Days of AI is\u00a0 a self-directed online course run by the University of the Arts London. Participants can learn about a new AI tool each day. I’ve signed up via Eventbrite<\/a> and places are still available if you want to join\u00a0 up. It is free!<\/p>\n

Each day, participants receive an email that directs them to a ‘daily task’. You are then introduced to an AI tool and given a quick run down on how it works. You can then follow the instructions to familiarise yourself with the tool. There are other resources shared on the website too including articles, demos and more!<\/p>\n

So far this course has introduced the following tools:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Hour One – a tool to create videos. An example of this tool is showcased on the ‘What is 12 Days of AI?’ webpage<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Chat GPT – the one we have probably all heard of! Participants are given some tasks to prompt this tool to generate information and there is some guidance on ‘Prompt Engineering’.<\/li>\n
  3. Claude.Ai – a tool that can summarise text. You can create an account and test out this tool on an article or some text that you have permission to upload.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I’ll be working my way through these tools and hopefully some of you will be able to join in too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
