Advanced Uses of Generative AI

Catalog description

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) is arguably one of the most transformative developments in information technology history. With uses of GAI ranging from creating essays to generating entire videos, this technology affects every industry, directly or indirectly. This course prepares students for GAI by showing how to apply it, delving into how large language models (LLMs) can work with text, and how images can be created and manipulated using GAI. Students will also explore prompt engineering, retrieval augmented generation, and model turning, which is how GAI is used, grounded in truth, and altered for specific uses. Finally, the course teaches students how to deploy custom LLMs, and how to architect and build applications around LLMs.
