Mastering AI: Beyond Basic Prompting in 2026

Andrew Ng highlights a major evolution in AI usage between 2022 and 2026, moving from basic interaction to much more sophisticated prompting techniques. He offers a course to transform any user into an AI "power user," regardless of their current skill level.

The course focuses on transferable skills applicable to tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. It covers advanced methods such as in-depth research mode, providing enriched context (documents, images), prompting AI for extended deliberation on important decisions, and using AI for image generation, data analysis, or creating simple games and websites. The goal is to give users an intuitive understanding of how models work internally to better assess the reliability of responses.
