Overview
This free, self-paced course gives community health workers a foundational understanding of artificial intelligence and how it shows up in public health and service delivery. In about two hours, it covers what AI is, where it is already appearing in frontline health work, when to trust an AI tool and when to override it, the basics of data privacy, and how to use AI alongside human judgment rather than as a substitute for it. The course was co-designed with community health workers and a coalition of practitioner organizations, reflecting a deliberate emphasis on AI literacy that strengthens human care rather than replacing it, and it is available in multiple languages.
