AI Strategies and Roadmap: Systems Engineering Approach to AI Development and Deployment

As easy as mainstream artificial intelligence tools are to use, AI is far from simple. Engineers have a duty to employ AI responsibly and intelligently to harness all it has to offer to address industry challenges.

In the five-day course participants will examine the types of tasks best suited to machines and ones that require the unique skillsets of humans. Additionally, learners will acquire practical experience building machine learning models and algorithms, instilling an appreciation of the complexity of end-to-end AI systems.

AI System Architecture and Large Language Model Applications
Professionals across industries are rapidly adopting artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) to streamline workflows and optimize operations. However, understanding the fundamental building blocks of AI architecture is critical before successfully deploying LLMs in real-world applications.

Participants in this 5-day course will deepen their understanding of AI architecture and gain hands-on experience with the tools, skills, and strategies that are integral to successfully deploying LLMs.
