Why we suggest this course
The scope runs past tool training into the work that makes an AI project stick inside an HR function: spotting where AI would genuinely help, designing for responsible and human-centered use, bringing stakeholders through the change, and defining the measures that show whether it worked. The capstone forces all of that through one problem rather than leaving it at principles. One thing to know: it runs to a set schedule with live class times, so it suits people who can commit to fixed sessions.
