Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping everything from how we shop online to the way doctors diagnose illnesses. HP LIFE’s latest course, AI for Beginners, provides students with an overview of the basics of AI and its impact on today’s digital landscape. It also equips them with the knowledge they need to adapt their skills to benefit from this revolutionary technology and participate successfully in an increasingly digital economy.
AI for Beginners overview
The course begins with an exploration of the history and evolution of AI, before introducing students to the central role data plays in enabling AI to learn, make predictions, and solve problems. They are also introduced to key concepts—including machine learning, generative AI, and large language models—and learn how they are driving innovation across businesses and in our daily lives. They also explore popular AI-powered tools, such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini, and discover how they can be used for personal and professional growth.
As the course progresses, students are required to complete a number of practical exercises to consolidate their knowledge and move forward. The course concludes by asking them to consider the ethical implications surrounding AI’s continued development while additional course resources enable them to progress their learning independently.
