Description
AI tools are in your editing software. In your writing apps. In your thumbnail generator. In the search bar you used to look up this course.
And somewhere in the back of your head is a little voice asking, is this okay?
That voice deserves a real answer — not hype, not doom, not a 40-page philosophy paper.
This course is the framework I use to answer it.
What this course actually is:
Not a hot take. Not a list of rules that go stale in six months.
A thinking framework you can apply to AI tools that don't exist yet.
About one hour. Dense, practical, and built for people with real work to do.
Ends with a certificate of completion you can share with your audience or employer.
What you'll walk away with:
The three core tensions sitting underneath every AI ethics debate — so you can spot which one is actually in play in any situation
A three-question framework you can run on any AI tool before you use it
A working understanding of where training data comes from and why that matters for your choices as a creator
A clear way to think about disclosure — when, how, and how much
Your own personal line on the AI involvement spectrum (tool → collaborator → ghostwriter → replacement)
A certificate of completion
Why this course:
No hype, no doom. Both extremes are useless when you have a project due Friday.
Made for creators. Not engineers, not ethicists, not policy people. You.
Practical, not academic. You can apply every concept in this course the next time you open an AI tool.
Short and dense. Your time matters.
Who this is for:
Content creators, YouTubers, podcasters, writers, designers, musicians, educators, and freelancers who already use AI tools — or are thinking about it — and want to be intentional about how. If you've ever felt uneasy and didn't know how to think it through, this is for you.
The technology will keep changing. The creators who thrive will be the ones who've already thought it through.
Let's go think it through.
