The Role of the CEO in Navigating GenAI

This course is designed to guide CEOs and senior leaders on their journey to understanding and leveraging Generative AI. It focuses on the critical role of the CEO in navigating the transformative potential of GenAI. Guest speakers, Andrew Ng (Co-founder and Chairman of Coursera) and Hayden Brown (CEO of Upwork) provide their perspectives on the importance of this journey and how leaders can maximize their impact. In this course, learners will get hands-on experiences with GenAI within our live “playground” environment with private access to powerful large language models. You'll explore how GenAI can serve as a 'thought partner', enhancing critical areas of their role such as information synthesis, decision-making, and effective communication. Imagine having a partner who can help you sift through vast amounts of data, identify key insights, and aid in making strategic decisions. That's the promise of GenAI. Finally, guest lecturers Jules White (Vanderbilt) and Andrew Ng (Stanford and DeepLearning.AI) will provide an executive summary of how Generative AI works as well as what it is capable and not capable of.
