For Polina, who is involved in the repair and servicing of components (a component master), Artificial Intelligence has become a colleague rather than just a tool.

She found out about the ALLIANCE introductory AI course from a friend and decided to explore how these technologies could assist in her specialist niche.

Polina notes that the programme was beneficial, although she did observe certain issues with the Ukrainian translation on Coursera. Nonetheless, this did not prevent her from integrating AI into her workflow. Now, when a complex technical problem arises or she needs to quickly make sense of an intricate circuit diagram, she consults Gemini.

«I run brainstorming sessions with the neural network on challenging matters. It’s a good partner, provided you structure the query correctly. It helps me understand “where to focus my efforts” and even organises my observations concerning health, assisting in compiling a list of symptoms into a logical system,» Polina explains.

Despite the successful implementation of the technology, Polina maintains a healthy level of scepticism. She believes that the current era of «prompt engineering» will not endure indefinitely, as AI is increasingly adept at comprehending everyday human language. Her key advice for newcomers is to always verify the results produced by AI (just as you would with people) and never «dump» confidential or sensitive data into chats.

🔐 Polina’s 3 Golden Rules for Secure Brainstorming:

If you are using AI as a partner to resolve technical or personal tasks, keep these principles in mind:

1. Anonymise Data: Never input serial numbers of confidential equipment, passwords, or clients’ personal data into the chat.
2. The «Second Opinion» Principle: Use AI as a pointer for «where to focus your efforts,» but the final decision and circuit verification must always remain your responsibility. Neural networks are capable of hallucinating (inventing facts).
3. Context is Everything: The more comprehensively you describe the problem (for example: «I have an X model board, the symptom is such-and-such, and components A and B have been checked»), the less “fluff” or irrelevant output the answer will contain.
