Make Safer AI Decisions

AI vs Human Decision Making Systems

Live Case Study

Make AI product decisions with less risk

You do not need to learn every model, framework, or engineering detail to make better AI decisions. You need data literacy: what to observe, what signals matter, and what patterns tell you whether an AI product is safe, useful, expensive, brittle, or worth scaling.

In this four-week flipped classroom, Jai walks through live examples and real AI data so you can practice reading what is happening inside LLM apps, agents, and model workflows. You will leave with a repeatable way to ask better questions, pressure-test claims, and make safer product decisions at work.

What you’ll learn

By the end, you will have a simple decision system for reading AI data and reducing product risk.

  • Read traces, evals, logs, and observability data well enough to understand what an AI system is actually doing.

  • Separate product risk from engineering noise: quality, latency, cost, reliability, safety, and user impact.

  • Ask engineers sharper questions and make clearer go/no-go, scope, and prioritization decisions.

Who this course is for

  • Product leaders, founders, operators & technical teammates who are being asked to make AI product decisions before they feel aligned.

  • People who need enough technical understanding to be dangerous in the right way: you need to know what data to ask for and how to read it.

  • Teams facing unclear AI demands who want a practical way to reduce risk, choose where to focus, and explain tradeoffs at work.

Prerequisites

  • No engineering background required

    You should be comfortable using AI tools and discussing product, customer, or business problems. Code examples may appear, but the class is about reading data and making decisions.
