Exploring Artificial Intelligence Use Cases and Applications
AWS Skill Builder
Last updated May 6, 2026
Exploring Artificial Intelligence Use Cases and Applications is a free, hour-long course that surveys where AI, machine learning, and generative AI are actually used across industries — healthcare, finance, marketing, entertainment, and more. Beyond the success stories, it is honest about limits: you look at the capabilities and challenges of each approach, learn to recognize where AI genuinely solves a business problem, and — importantly — where it isn't the right tool at all. It also introduces how machine learning techniques like supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning map to real use cases, and how to think about choosing a generative AI model and measuring its business value. The course uses videos, interactive elements, and worked examples rather than dense text.
What you'll learn
- Real AI applications across industries
- Recognizing where AI addresses a genuine business need
- Judging when AI/ML is not the right solution
- How supervised/unsupervised/reinforcement learning map to use cases
- GenAI capabilities and challenges
- Selecting a GenAI model, and the business metrics that matter
