Generative AI is AI that can produce new content - answers, code, music, art, video, and more. Those who harness it are more productive, more in-demand, and more highly paid. Those who don’t will be left behind. This lightly technical intro will teach you the foundational skills to level up your understanding of transformers, LLMs, and more. By the end of this course, you will engineer better prompts and apply chain-of-thought techniques to generate AI solutions.
AI jobs are exploding, but the pathways to discover and land them aren’t always clear. In this course, you’ll explore the wide - and growing - variety of career pathways your AI skills unlock. You’ll understand salaries, growth trends, target jobs, and the skills needed to land them. You’ll deepen an understanding of resume and interview skills, achievable goals, and careers that meet your needs for meaning, excitement, and a lucrative financial future.
This course brings the predictive power of AI to your toolbox. You'll discover how to analyze, interpret, and forecast complex data using AI tools. Learn through hands-on activities and practice techniques like regression analysis and neural networks. You'll also explore how to fill in missing data and estimate your confidence in your predictions. By the end of this course, you'll have in-demand skills for your career and be ready to take on more advanced studies.
Prescriptive AI teaches you the highest-value technical AI skills available. You’ll use the advanced techniques of optimization, evolutionary computation, surrogate modeling, and agent building, helping you use AI for its true superpower: faster, better business decisions. Through real-world challenges and hands-on projects in decision-making, robotics, and more, you’ll be able to frame problems and train models that make you a desirable hire in any industry.
Students will pair the courses above with their Computer Science or Data Science capstone to complete their Applied AI combined major or concentration.
