Mastering Generative AI: From Foundations to Real-World Applications

About this path

This learning path is based on the playlist 'Learning 5: Mastering Generative AI' by Barnie Free Courses. It is designed for tech professionals, creatives, business leaders, and students who want to understand and apply generative AI. The path covers the fundamentals of generative AI, major model types (LLMs, GANs, VAEs, Diffusion), prompt engineering, hands-on text and media generation, building with tools like LangChain and RAG, and the ethical and legal considerations. It concludes with a capstone project to apply what you've learned.

What you will learn

• Understand the fundamental concepts of generative AI and its evolution.
• Explain how major generative models like LLMs, GANs, VAEs, and diffusion models work.
• Apply prompt engineering techniques to get desired outputs from generative models.
• Use generative AI tools for text, image, and audio generation.
• Build applications using LangChain, vector databases, and retrieval-augmented generation.
• Identify ethical risks and governance frameworks for responsible AI use.
• Complete a capstone project that demonstrates your generative AI skills.
