Q: Who is this certificate for?

A: This program is designed for learners at every level from individual contributors to managers to executives who want to stay relevant, think creatively, and confidently integrate AI into their work. No design or AI background required. This certificate is best for beginners to design thinking.
 

Q: What's the learning experience like?

A: It’s an 8-week cohort-based program, meaning you’ll learn alongside a global community of professionals from a range of industries and roles. You’ll engage in hands-on projects, reflection prompts, and peer feedback, all guided by the IDEO U teaching team.

Q: How is this different from IDEO U’s other AI x Design Thinking courses?

A: This certificate includes a deeper dive into design thinking fundamentals not just how to use AI, but how to frame problems, unlock creative ideas, and lead innovation. It builds on our self-paced and workshop offerings with a more immersive, comprehensive learning journey.

Q: Why should I learn AI x Design Thinking with IDEO?

A: IDEO pioneered design thinking and now we’re bringing that same human-centered approach to the world of AI. We believe the most powerful use of AI isn’t just technical it’s creative, ethical, and human-driven. You’ll learn how to make AI work for you and your team, not the other way around.

Q: How is this different from other AI courses?
A: Most AI courses focus on tools and tactics. This program focuses on how to think differently with AI. You’ll learn how to use AI to spark ideas, shape strategy, and solve problems, not just automate tasks. It’s not about becoming a data scientist, it’s about becoming a more adaptable, forward-thinking leader.

Q: Will I learn how to write code with AI?
A: We won’t practice writing code or creating digital products or apps with AI. You’ll explore AI tools like LLMs, image generators, and prototyping assistants, but the focus is on using them strategically and creatively, not technically. This program is for non-technical professionals who want to use AI to enhance their leadership, not replace it.
