Generative AI courses and concepts

Generative AI is artificial intelligence that creates new content — text, images, audio, video or code — by learning the patterns in a large body of training data and using them to answer a prompt. An answer can read well and still be wrong, because nothing in the way the model produces it guarantees accuracy. Whether you use these tools or build on them, checking what they generate is part of the work.

Generative AI terms explained

These terms mix product names (ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney), kinds of model (large language models, diffusion models) and techniques (prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, fine-tuning). A product and the technology behind it are different things: ChatGPT and Claude are products, and large language models are the kind of model they are built on. The technique terms apply across products, so they stay useful if you switch from one product to another.

Generative AI is broad, so the next step depends on what you came for. Learn AI covers how AI systems work, without building one; Use AI covers using AI tools in a working role; Develop AI covers building on the models directly, and the engineering around them.
