Evaluating AI Output

A 45-minute discipline for professionals reviewing AI-generated work — spotting hallucinations, checking sources, building a verification habit.

45 min·7 chapters·Individual contributor · Manager·Free

Last updated: 2026-05-19

What you'll learn

By the end of this course you'll be able to:

  • Why AI evaluation looks easy and isn’t
  • The difference between accurate output and useful output
  • Three hallucination patterns and how to spot each one
  • How to evaluate sources and citations the model gives you
  • How to spot bias in outputs — beyond the obvious cases
  • A verification habit you can actually sustain past week two

Who this is for

Individual contributors and managers reviewing AI-generated work — their own, their team’s, or a vendor’s. Especially valuable in GCC, India, and Africa where multilingual outputs and regional context make verification harder than the typical English-only examples suggest.

Curriculum
