AI courses

Has anyone done one recently?

I'm thinking about what course to do next and with the next information revolution being pinned on AI I'm keen to do some training on it but nothing is jumping out as a worthy course at the moment. This would be in the context of development/architecture.

I asked Chat-Gpt this question and it said.


what courses can I take in AI?

There are some good free courses here for a limited time. Give it a go!

I have dabbled.

My suggestion would be to look for a general discussion of different ML and Deep learning techniques and applications before diving in.

Play with https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b-instruct if you're interested in the category of AI that ChatGPT is using.

Which bit has most demand and commands the best rates. Do that. HTH.

AI is such a wide and fast growing field that a good approach might be to get a broad general understanding first before diving into some specialist areas.

A lot of people have done courses with DeepLearning.AI, fronted by the well known Andrew Ng. Millions of people have done his AI courses on Coursera, also in conjunction with Stanford University which is supposed to be one of the world's leaders in AI.

If you go to the DeepLearning.AI website, they have intro, intermediate and advanced courses and you can download the course slides for free (may not be the latest version.)

Doing a course now and its very involved. Lots of deep maths and complex formula. You also need a good understanding of Python although there is alternatives like ML.Net. I won't recommend the course yet as I am only half way through it and I also don't fancy creating competition - lol

I don't blame you for not wanting to share it either! It's still good to know some others are looking at it courses out there. It sounds like you are doing more of the ML and theory side of it which on some courses looks interesting to get the nuts and bolts understanding of how it works - which is something I like to do.

I'm tempted to do one of the Azure architecture AI modules and then dig deeper into one of the 25-week part-time courses I've seen advertised.

Would understanding what about AI you need to know help focus your search? It's a massive area of growth with multiple levels to aim for. If you want to start looking at machine learning at a very low level you are likely to need PHd's and the like not just courses. If you just want to integrate it in to something you'll need a whole different set of skills etc.
