Safe and Responsible Use of Generative AI: A Comprehensive Employee Guide

Learn how to use generative AI tools safely at work through prompt engineering, data protection, and responsible AI practices. This 5-day program from Gentex Training Center builds practical skills for secure and ethical AI use.

Introduction

Generative AI tools now write, summarize, and analyze faster than any team. However, careless use can expose data, spread errors, and damage trust. This Safe and Responsible Use of Generative AI: A Comprehensive Employee Guide Training Course from Gentex Training Center gives participants a clear, practical framework for using these tools safely at work. Participants learn how large language models work, write effective prompts, and check outputs for accuracy. Furthermore, they learn to protect confidential data and follow ethical and legal rules. The course draws on the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001. In addition, hands-on exercises build daily habits. As a result, participants use AI with confidence, speed, and control.

Safe and Responsible Use of Generative AI: A Comprehensive Employee Guide Course Objectives

  • Explain how generative AI and large language models (LLMs) work, including their strengths, limits, and common failure modes.
  • Write effective prompts using the role-task-context-format framework and iterative refinement techniques.
  • Verify AI outputs using fact-checking routines, source validation, and human-in-the-loop review to catch hallucinations.
  • Protect confidential and personal data using data classification rules and GDPR principles before entering any prompt.
  • Identify security threats such as prompt injection and data leakage using the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications.
  • Assess AI use cases using the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001 principles.
