Generative AI Foundations – Full Beginner Course (LLMs & Applications)

Generative AI Foundations – Full Beginner Course (LLMs & Applications)

This beginner-friendly generative AI course introduces the core concepts of artificial intelligence and Large Language Models (LLMs) in a simple and practical way. It is designed for learners who want to understand how AI works and how to use it in real-world applications.

The course begins with an introduction to generative AI and explains how these systems work at a conceptual level. You will learn how LLMs function as thought partners that assist in writing, reasoning, and problem-solving tasks.

It also covers the idea of AI as a general-purpose technology, showing how it can be applied across many fields such as education, business, and software development.

A major part of the course focuses on practical generative AI applications, including writing assistance, reading and summarization, and AI-based chat systems. You will also understand what LLMs can and cannot do, helping you use them more effectively and safely.

The course introduces prompt engineering tips and best practices to improve AI outputs, along with hands-on examples of image generation and content creation.

Finally, learners explore how generative AI can be integrated into software applications, making it possible to build intelligent tools and systems.

By the end of this course, you will have a clear understanding of generative AI fundamentals and practical use cases across different domains.
