This micro-certificate teaches you how: tracing claims, numbers, names and quotes to their sources, finding what is missing, and setting who reviews what before anything is decided.
Who this micro-certificate is for
- Professionals who rely on AI-drafted documents
- Reviewers, editors and quality staff
- Managers who sign off on AI-assisted work
- Anyone who wants to catch AI errors before they spread
