Course Description

Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that creates new content like text, images, and music from existing data. This course on Fundamentals of Generative AI introduces the basic ideas and technology behind this artificial intelligence. You’ll learn how generative AI is different from other types of AI, and we’ll cover the main types of generative AI models, like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and transformer models. You’ll also see how generative AI is used in industries like entertainment, marketing, and healthcare.

This course also explains some of the ethical issues that have emerged as generative AI becomes more popular, such as concerns over bias, privacy, and its potential for misuse. We’ll cover how to use these technologies responsibly and why it’s so important to be transparent about it. By the end of this course, you’ll understand how generative AI works, how it’s shaping industries today, and the key considerations for its ethical use.
