Generative AI Course
Course Overview Generative AI has rapidly evolved to become a transformative force in
technology, reshaping how we create content, write code, and solve problems.
Demand for Generative AI skills is surging as companies across all sectors look to
integrate AI into their workflows to boost productivity and innovation.
This is a Generative AI course for beginners, and we designed it for people with no prior
AI experience. It is suitable even if you have no background in machine learning.
You will cover the basics of Generative AI, helping you understand how Large Language
Models (LLMs) work, how to master prompt engineering, and how to build your own AI-
powered applications. By the end of this course, you will know how to leverage AI tools
to automate tasks and create value.
Introduction to Generative AI
An introduction to the landscape of Artificial Intelligence. Learn the difference between
traditional AI (Discriminative) and Generative AI.
Understand the core concepts behind Large Language Models (LLMs) and Diffusion
Models.
Explore the ecosystem of popular tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Midjourney.
o Prompt Engineering Fundamentals
Prompting is the new programming. Learn the art of communicating effectively with AI
models to get the exact results you want.
Learn core techniques: Zero-shot, Few-shot, and Chain-of-Thought prompting.
Master the structure of a perfect prompt: Context, Instruction, Input Data, and Output
Indicator.
o Text Generation and NLP
Learn to use AI for text-based tasks, which is the foundation of most business
applications.
Use AI for summarization, translation, creative writing, and data extraction.
Understand "Hallucinations"—why models make mistakes and how to fact-check and
mitigate them.
o Image and Media Generation
Unlock creativity by generating visual assets from text descriptions.
Learn to work with image generation tools like DALL-E and Stable Diffusion.
Understand parameters and seeds to control style, composition, and consistency in your
generated images.
o Building AI Applications
You’ll learn how to move beyond chat interfaces and start building your own AI
applications using APIs.
Introduction to the OpenAI API and other model providers.
Learn how to integrate LLMs into Python scripts to automate workflows and process
data at scale.
o Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
One of the most valuable skills in the market: teaching AI to "read" your own private
data.
Learn why LLMs don't know your personal data and how RAG solves this.
Build a simple system that allows you to upload a document (like a PDF) and chat with it.
o Ethics, Safety, and Future Trends
With great power comes great responsibility. Learn the limitations and ethical
considerations of using AI.
Understand bias, copyright issues, and data privacy concerns when using public models.
Explore the future of AI agents and autonomous systems.
o Case Study
This chapter will allow you to apply all the concepts you've learned in this course to
build a functional prototype.
You will build a "Personal AI Assistant" tailored to a specific niche (e.g., a Study Buddy or
a Marketing Copywriter).
Use prompt engineering and basic scripting to deploy a simple chatbot interface that
solves a real user problem.
