The curriculum is structured as a progressive journey through the generative AI landscape. It opens with foundational definitions and history of AI, machine learning, and deep learning, and introduces the distinctions between Narrow, General, and Super AI. Subsequent modules build on this foundation by exploring the mechanics of Generative AI, followed by an extensive focus on Large Language Models including their principles, evolution, pre-training, and fine-tuning. The programme then transitions to tools and technologies, covering ChatGPT and AI-based image, video, and music generation. Real-world applications and industry use cases span finance, healthcare, creative arts, and robotics. Dedicated modules address LLM hallucinations and the broader challenges and future trajectory of AI. The programme concludes with guidance on implementing generative AI in business contexts and an exploration of DeepSeek as an emerging next-generation AI tool.
There are 10 semesters in this course
The opening module establishes a solid conceptual foundation by defining AI, machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI, tracing the history of AI and its development through machine learning and deep learning paradigms, and distinguishing between Narrow, General, and Super AI. The fundamentals of generative AI are then explored in depth, covering how generative models work and their relationship with machine learning frameworks. The Large Language Models module is a central pillar of the programme, examining the principles, evolution, pre-training processes, fine-tuning techniques, and real-world deployment of LLMs. The generative AI tools module introduces learners to ChatGPT and extends into AI-powered image, video, and music generation. Applications and use cases modules explore how generative AI is being deployed across finance, healthcare, creative arts, and robotics, grounded in industry-relevant scenarios. A dedicated module on understanding hallucinations in LLMs equips learners with the critical knowledge to identify and address AI inaccuracies. The challenges and future of generative AI module looks ahead at the evolving AI landscape, while the business implementation module guides learners on integrating generative AI into organisational strategies. The final module on DeepSeek introduces this emerging tool, its distinguishing features, comparison with ChatGPT, and its significance in the next wave of generative AI development.
