Announcing the New Generative AI Fundamentals Certificate

We couldn’t be more excited to announce our latest certification course on Ai+ Training, Generative AI Fundamentals. You can explore all it has to offer here. In the meantime, be sure to check out the overview below. 

The Generative AI Fundamentals Course will dive into core principles, teach you to apply generative language models, and explore their architecture, training methodologies, and applications.  

This is an API-driven, comprehensive generative AI certificate introduction to the foundational principles of generative artificial intelligence, enabling you to engage with generative language models confidently. In this course, you will acquire the essential knowledge to embark on your journey into AI-driven content creation.

Throughout the course, you’ll have the opportunity to interact directly with pre-trained models, build practical skills in generating text, answer contextual questions, and more. You will also explore ethical considerations surrounding AI-generated content with an emphasis on responsible use and potential pitfalls.

By the course’s conclusion, you will possess a solid foundational understanding of generative AI and be ready to embark on projects leveraging cutting-edge language models.
