Module 3: Section 3.1
Section 3.1: Humans and Artificial Intelligence
In Module 1, we covered the basics of AI and generative AI, including their history, key components, and the different types of AI. Module 2 then went in-depth on the components that make up an AI, and we went through some topics surrounding Large Language Models (LLMs).
Now, in Module 3, we’ll dive into the technical skills needed to work with AI effectively. We’ll explore key courses and pathways that will guide you toward becoming an AI expert, while also examining the balance between when to rely on AI and when human input is crucial. In this module, we’ll also look at how soft skills are evolving as AI continues to shape our interactions and workflows. Let’s take a closer look at these concepts through the following video.

As the video demonstrates, AI lacks emotional intelligence, creativity, and contextual understanding—qualities essential for tasks that require empathy, nuanced communication, and creative problem-solving. While AI can perform tasks like chatbots or generate scripts, it struggles with the nuances and emotional depth that humans bring to these interactions. This highlights how human soft skills—such as communication and emotional intelligence—are essential for future career growth.
