What’s New On LINKEDIN LEARNING?
When to Use AI (and When Not To): Practical Judgment at Work
As AI moves from experimentation into everyday work, the hard part is no longer how to prompt a tool. It’s knowing when to use AI at all, when to question it, and when to rely on your own expertise instead. In this course, instructor Pinar Demirdag teaches you how to make those calls with confidence.
Cybersecurity at Work
Cybersecurity doesn’t fall solely within your IT department’s purview. If you own a smartphone, work on a computer, or use the internet, then you’re exposed to a variety of complex security risks on a constant daily basis. In this course, instructor Caroline Wong details what these threats are and what you can do about them—both to protect yourself and your organization.
