The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) in 2023 has turned it into an indispensable app, or feature, on nearly everyone’s smartphone. To help people keep up rather than fall behind in this technological era, Microsoft introduced its AI For Beginners Course. Now, as 2023 draws to a close, Microsoft has also introduced a Generative AI For Beginners Course, covering generative AI — one of the fastest-advancing areas of AI technology.
In the Generative AI For Beginners Course, learners will go through 12 foundational lessons on building generative AI applications, created by Microsoft Cloud Advocates. Each lesson covers key things learners should know about generative AI techniques, capabilities, and application development. Through this course, learners will come away understanding what it takes to bring their own ideas to life and build their own generative AI startup.
With its 12 lessons, the Generative AI course is genuinely excellent for beginners looking to build a solid foundation, and those wanting to take the next step can continue on with Microsoft’s Generative AI Learning Collection.
Each lesson includes a short introductory video on the topic, a written lesson in the README section, and Jupyter Notebooks for project-based lessons. The lessons also include challenges and assignments for learners to work through, along with extra resource links for further study.
