Module 9- Jordan
Using AI for online job search and application
Now that we learnt the steps needed to search and apply for a job online, in this module we will focus on 3 main uses of Generative AI to support your online job search, these are:
In this module we will learn how we could use the AI tools to help us in our job applications.
Let first start with understanding what is Generative AI:
Generative AI is a form of technology known as Artificial Intelligence (AI) that generates new content in different formats including images, text, graphs..etc, based on the information it already has and what you are telling it to do (also known as prompts discussed in section 9.3Link opens in a new window
Some well-known examples of Generative AI include:
- ChatGPTLink opens in a new window
- Microsoft CopilotLink opens in a new window
- ClaudeLink opens in a new window
- GeminiLink opens in a new window
- LumoLink opens in a new window
and there are many more.
Using AI has many advantages and it makes a lot of tasks much easier. For example, it makes online search, writing or creating images and summarising documents or articles much easier.
However, it does have several disadvantages and problems which are important for anyone using AI to be aware of as they risk security and privacy of the AI users.
🧰 What are the disadvantages and risks of using AI?
Think about it first: Do you know what are the problems and risks that you might face when using AI and how you can avoid them?
Tap each row to see the problems and risks of using AI.
Risk
This is also known as AI Hallucinations. AI will make up or create information that is not real or true just to answer the question.
How to avoid
You need to review and double check all the information you get from AI before using it or sharing it with anyone.
Risk
AI can sometimes give you wrong answers as it might not understand the question or the context that you are asking about.
How to avoid
Again, the solution here is to review and double check all the information generated from AI. In addition, try as much as possible to ask it questions that do not require a lot of context or background knowledge.
Risk
AI models such as ChatGPI, Gemini, Claude..etc use the information that you provide to improve their performance, by storing the information and using it for training to become more effective over time.
How to avoid
It is extremely important not to share any private or confidential personal details with AI.
