Course Description

This course is meant for students who want to learn Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI). We will cover the basics of language models and large language models (LLMs) and go through the details of how they are built. We will also cover topics around Deep Learning, Transformers, and Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT). We will explore topics related to the implications of Generative AI in society such as bias in AI systems, ethical dilemmas, job losses, and regulations of AI systems by the government.

The course will be fairly hands-on with some programming exercises. You will also learn prompt engineering for some of the current Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney. Required programming concepts will be taught in the class, so no programming background is required.
