The goal of this certificate program is to explore basic and advanced concepts of generative AI. Effective application of generative AI ensures that models produce high-quality, relevant, and innovative outputs. The aim of the certificate program is to familiarize students with techniques needed to achieve these objectives. Basic topics and segments of generative AI that students will address in this course are: qualities of an effective AI practitioner, typical responsibilities in the AI field, selecting and preparing datasets, designing and training models, creating an AI development team, managing AI projects, quality control of AI outputs, risk management, and more.

During the certificate program, a variety of teaching methods will be used: from basic explanations of terms and concepts, exercises, working on case studies, individual work in applying the presented knowledge, and group/team work on AI projects.

Beyond mere description of theoretical lectures, the emphasis will be on practical work, where students will plan and manage an AI project that will culminate in a capstone project.
