Self-Paced — Learn Anytime, Anywhere

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming part of how organizations work, make decisions, create content, automate processes, and interact with technology. Yet understanding AI requires more than knowing how to use an AI chatbot or write a prompt.

AI Fundamentals provides the conceptual foundation needed to understand what AI is, how machines learn from data, how neural networks work, how modern AI processes images and language, and how today’s Generative AI, Large Language Models, and AI Agents are built.

The course begins with the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence and establishes a clear relationship between AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Generative AI, Foundation Models, LLMs, and AI Agents.

Learners then explore how Machine Learning systems learn from data, including datasets, features, labels, training, validation, testing, loss, generalization, gradient descent, learning rate, model capacity, underfitting, and overfitting.
