💼 Career

Being able to explain AI concepts simply is valuable for educators, trainers, and team leaders introducing AI in workplaces.

1

Create a list of AI tools

Create a list called ai_tools with these exact entries: 'ChatGPT', 'DALL·E', 'Google Bard', 'Midjourney'.

AI for Everyone

# Create the list ai_tools with the specified AI tool names
# Your code here

Hint

Use square brackets to create a list and include all four AI tool names as strings.

2

Set a usage guideline

Add a variable called usage_guideline and set it to the string 'Use AI tools to assist, not replace, your creativity.'

AI for Everyone

ai_tools = ['ChatGPT', 'DALL·E', 'Google Bard', 'Midjourney']
# Add the usage_guideline variable below
# Your code here

Hint

Assign the exact string to the variable usage_guideline using quotes.

3

Explain each AI tool's purpose

Write a for loop using tool as the iterator variable to go through ai_tools. Inside the loop, create a dictionary called tool_purpose with these exact pairs: 'ChatGPT': 'Text generation', 'DALL·E': 'Image creation', 'Google Bard': 'Conversational AI', 'Midjourney': 'Artistic image generation'. Then assign the purpose of the current tool to a variable called purpose by looking it up in tool_purpose.

AI for Everyone

ai_tools = ['ChatGPT', 'DALL·E', 'Google Bard', 'Midjourney']
usage_guideline = 'Use AI tools to assist, not replace, your creativity.'
# Write a for loop to assign purpose for each tool
# Your code here

Hint

Use a for loop with tool to access each AI tool. Create the dictionary inside the loop and get the purpose by key.

4

Add a final tip on responsible AI use

After the loop, create a variable called final_tip and set it to the string 'Always verify AI outputs and use them ethically.'

AI for Everyone

ai_tools = ['ChatGPT', 'DALL·E', 'Google Bard', 'Midjourney']
usage_guideline = 'Use AI tools to assist, not replace, your creativity.'
for tool in ai_tools:
    tool_purpose = {
        'ChatGPT': 'Text generation',
        'DALL·E': 'Image creation',
        'Google Bard': 'Conversational AI',
        'Midjourney': 'Artistic image generation'
    }
    purpose = tool_purpose[tool]
# Add the final_tip variable below
# Your code here

Hint

Assign the exact string to the variable final_tip after the loop.

Practice
