Global Diplomacy: the United Nations in the World
The course offers a well-researched and broad-ranging primer to the United Nations system. Consisting of an introduction to the complex UN family and its history, and a series of ‘snapshots’ of key UN functions, which are used to explore important UN themes and help learners develop important analysis, communication, and policy-based skills. The course is aimed broadly at people interested in learning more about the United Nations system, assuming a level of interest but no necessary previous knowledge, whilst also offering sufficient up to date research and new critical perspectives that it will also be of interest to people with more expertise or academic familiarity with the topic as well. The main aim of the course is to provide this wide-ranging introduction in a self-contained, but in-depth form, alongside the important practical skills necessary to understand and discuss UN affairs, and potentially lay the groundwork for greater engagement in future – either in civil society or in further study.

Automated Reasoning with GPT Assistant API: ReAct Agents
The concepts of large language models (LLMs) took the world by storm in November 2022, positioning Artificial Intelligence as one of the most invested-in and promising technology sectors. This guided project will walk you through the creation of a reasoning and acting (ReAct) agent that harnesses the capability of the most prominent LLM in the world, GPT-4, to automate complex tasks that would normally require human reasoning and input. Ever wanted to know how to use large language models to interact with your business infrastructure or automate customer chat queries? This project is for you. By the end of this guided, ~1-hr long project, you will have created a GPT Assistant in Node/Typescript, that is able to answer questions on real-time information, such as the stock prices, and also answer questions on given input files. You will also understand the fundamentals of creating assistants that you can use and scale for your own business considerations. We will walk through the process from the beginning, from setting up your environment and API key, to uploading files and testing the limitations of retrieving relevant information, and creating functions that have reliable logic that can be scaled and changed depending on business need. This project, of intermediate complexity, is intended for those with some background in programming and application development to fully understand the logic and setup, though even business owners and managerial professionals can benefit from the project as we walk through every step and explain the cost-benefit analysis. Ready to create your own Assistant? Let's go!

Companies and climate change
How can companies act in the fight against global warming? This is a question that is being asked more and more urgently to all economic actors. To shed some light on your thoughts, we have met with four companies of various sizes and sectors of activity that are very committed to the subject. They will share with you their progress in aligning themselves with the objectives of the Paris Accord. Alain Grandjean and his colleagues from Carbone 4 will bring you the fundamentals of the subject, scientific bases to clarify the stakes, but also and above all, methodological elements to help you put your company on the path of the 2 degrees.With my fellow professors from ESSEC, we will bring you complementary views and a synthesis of all the contents. This MOOC will not be a technical MOOC, this MOOC will not be an advocacy MOOC either, this MOOC will be a pedagogical object that will help you have a better understanding of organizational issues and managerial concepts in relation to climate change - a complex scientific topic. It is therefore a question of knowing more about how a company can take climate change into account in its strategy and its operations. For those who wish to do so, we will provide you with tools and means to take action on these issues of climate change and energy transition.
