Choose an answer for each question. This is a self-check, not a test, and nothing is recorded. If two or more answers surprise you, re-read the page they point back to before starting Week 1.
1This course describes itself as occupying ‘the operational middle’. What sits on either side of it?
Boards and risk committees hold principles. Practitioners hold prompts and tools. Both are necessary, and neither is enough to build a service from. This course works in the layer between, where principles become specifications a specialist can build and an auditor can inspect.
2What single deliverable do the fourteen weeks build?
Each of the first thirteen weeks produces one artefact, and the artefacts reference each other. Week 14 is integration, not new content: the components are assembled and audited for coherence. The portable prompt and checklist toolkit is the bonus you carry alongside it.
3A colleague says: ‘Our AI ethics principles already commit us to transparency, so that box is ticked.’ What is wrong with that?
Any sentence that could sit unchanged in a values statement is too abstract to build from. The course's first working principle is exactly this: specifications, not principles.
4The six non-negotiables are called ‘the floor, not the ceiling’. What does that mean?
Every AI-enabled communication service should meet all six, in every domain, every time. Sector rules will often push your plan above the floor. A draft that falls below it is incomplete, not minimalist.
5Thinking about your own next fourteen weeks: what does the orientation say is the single best predictor of finishing well?
Week 5 reads from Weeks 1 and 2. Week 8 reads from Weeks 6 and 7. Four to six hours a week, in the same protected window, beats intensity in bursts. Block the window before Week 1 opens, and pick the service you will audit.
