In this course, learners will get hands-on experiences with GenAI within our live “playground” environment with private access to powerful large language models. You'll explore how GenAI can serve as a 'thought partner', enhancing critical areas of their role such as information synthesis, decision-making, and effective communication. Imagine having a partner who can help you sift through vast amounts of data, identify key insights, and aid in making strategic decisions. That's the promise of GenAI.
Finally, guest lecturers Jules White (Vanderbilt) and Andrew Ng (Stanford and DeepLearning.AI) will provide an executive summary of how Generative AI works as well as what it is capable and not capable of.
This course is part of the Navigating Generative AI for Leaders Specialization.

What you'll learn

  • Why GenAI is critically important for CEOs to understand
  • How to start your AI journey
  • What AI is and what it can do
  • How to go hands on with Generative AI to enhance your performance as a CEO

Scalable Machine Learning on Big Data using Apache Spark (Coursera)

Data Science

This course will empower you with the skills to scale data science and machine learning (ML) tasks on Big Data sets using Apache Spark. Most real world machine learning work involves very large data sets that go beyond the CPU, memory and storage limitations of a single computer. Apache Spark is an open source framework that leverages cluster computing and distributed storage to process extremely large data sets in an efficient and cost effective manner. Therefore an applied knowledge of working with Apache Spark is a great asset and potential differentiator for a Machine Learning engineer.
