Several friends and colleagues have privately asked me if the MIT “Applied Generative AI for Digital Transformation” course was worth taking (it is quite expensive and intense) after I shared my certificate of successful completion. My answer is that it was definitely worth it for me in my quest to find the most impactful use of Generative AI for freelancers beyond image and video generation, though perhaps not as much as for many of my classmates who hold CIO or other digital transformation roles in companies across various industries worldwide.

Additional great benefit for me was reading submitted forum assignments and peeking into AI use cases for all sorts of purposes in business and education.

While the course covered a lot of ground that wasn’t directly relevant to my professional or personal goals, it did provide me with a strong foundation for what my intentions are, allowing me to continue confidently exploring how we, freelancers in visual content creation, can use AI capabilities and emerging tools to supercharge personal and professional growth, as well as take our freelance business to the next level.
