If you just graduated, you’ve probably heard the word “AI” more times than you can count. Employers talk about it. The news is full of it. And somewhere in the back of your mind, you’re wondering — do I need to know this? The answer is yes. But the good news is, you don’t need to be a tech genius to use AI to your advantage.
What Exactly is AI?
Artificial Intelligence simply means computer systems that can do tasks that normally require human thinking — like writing, answering questions, or making decisions. Tools like ChatGPT and Claude are examples you can use today, free, from your phone.
Why Should Fresh Graduates Care?
Employers in every field — marketing, finance, law, education — are now looking for candidates who understand AI tools. A graduate who knows AI can do the work of two people and stand out in any interview.
