AI requires more knowledge than simply reading a user guide, but graduate level programs in AI and Machine Learning often have significant pre-requisites in math and coding.

This program is designed to be an easy to understand and enjoyable introduction to AI, and it takes a unique approach towards integrating ChatGPT as a tutor to help learners through any areas that are new to them. There are no pre-requisites and no previous technical experience is required.

By the end of this certificate, learners will gain valuable exposure to both generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, as well as have a hands-on chance to explore conventional AI topics such as the related math and coding using an approach that is inclusive of learners from any background. The easiest possible way to learn the related math and coding involves a series of tools such as Google Colab, Jupyter Notebooks and math libraries, which are like advanced calculators. The approach of this program is to view all of these applications simply as tools and to aim to make the experience as enjoyable as possible and to help overcome any sense of intimidation that a person may feel.

The program also includes an introduction to various certifications that a person may choose to pursue, which can further enhance competitiveness in the job market, whether you are a working professional seeking to evolve, a recent college grad seeking to enhance your education, or you are simply interested in getting into the field of AI.

Learners who go through this program will gain beginning to intermediate level skills in:

ChatGPT and other similar tools
Making a bot
AI automation
Python
Google Colab
Data Science
One of the biggest changes since the recent introduction of ChatGPT has been its increasing sophistication, and its ability to not only be an advanced tutor, but also to be able to do much of the work in AI, as if it were a personal staff member. This phenomenon is re-writing the way AI is approached in the workplace, and it is critical to explore not just how ChatGPT can help you learn, but how it can do work for you. This program is extremely up to date, is updated on an ongoing basis, and it is designed to help learners from any background to evolve.
