The part every other course leaves out
Competence is not permission. This lesson gets you the second one.
Knowing how to use AI is useless if using it gets you into trouble. Most people in African workplaces are already using these tools quietly, without permission and without disclosure. This lesson fixes that.
More than 80% of workers already use AI tools their employer has not approved, and 70% know of sensitive data being shared with them inappropriately. Senior people offend most. Fewer than four in ten organisations have a formal AI policy, so most of that is not defiance — it is people guessing in a vacuum, carrying a risk they have never named.
The lesson is practical rather than moralising. Find the policy or establish that there is none, work out what disclosure is genuinely required and how to word it, and write one page for the person who actually signs off. You leave with a memo rather than a secret.
50 minutes in total, in sittings short enough to fit a working day. Each one ends with something in your hands.
What you do
More than 80% of workers use AI tools their employer has not approved, and senior people offend most. Nearly half say they would carry on even if it were banned outright. What that exposes you to personally, and why the quiet route is the risky one.

An honest audit of your own current use
What you do
Find your organisation's AI or acceptable-use policy and work out what it actually permits. Fewer than four in ten organisations have a formal one, so this session also covers what to assume in the vacuum, and how to work compliantly when the tools themselves are blocked.

What you do
When disclosure is required, when it is merely wise, and how to word it to a manager, a client or a regulator without undermining your own work.

What you do
Write a single page for the person who actually signs off: the task, the change, the hours saved, the data classification from session 3.4, and the risks with how you have handled each. Peer-reviewed against one question — would a real manager say yes to this?
