Abstract
Generative AI models user neural networks to identify the patterns and structures with existing data to generate new and original content. Examples of foundation models include GPT-3 and Stable Diffusion, which allows users to leverage the power of language. During this course students will delve into the world of AI generative models, exploring their definition, purpose, applications, and the key concepts that drive their success.
Learning Objectives
- Discover key concepts driving the success of AI technologies.
- Gain insights into generative AI models creating original content.
