About this Professional Certificate
Master the skills to develop AI-powered applications and chatbots using Python and cutting-edge technologies. This course is designed for tech professionals who want to enhance their Generative AI capabilities. 
You will learn: 
 
  • Build job-ready Generative AI application development skills in just 6 months with hands-on labs and projects. 
  • Learn to integrate internal/private systems with large language models (LLMs) like GPT and Llama using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technology. 
  • Develop web applications using Python frameworks such as Flask and Gradio. 
  • Gain proficiency in frameworks like LangChain and build voice-enabled AI chatbots with multi-modal capabilities. 
 
Program Overview 
 
The demand for AI developers with generative AI skills is skyrocketing, with 75% of AI-driven organizations seeking developers proficient in LLMs and AI frameworks. The series of self-paced courses in this program ensures learners gain hands-on, practical experience that can immediately be applied in real-world job settings, in as little as 6 months. 
 
AI Developers are software professionals who specialize in creating solutions that leverage artificial intelligence and GenAI technologies. They work with programming languages like Python and employ software development tools and generative AI models and technologies to build AI powered applications and agents. 
 
By completing this Professional Certificate, learners will be well-equipped to assume job roles as AI developers and AI software engineers. These roles demand expertise in working with LLMs, integrating advanced AI technologies into applications, and designing conversational AI solutions.  
The program covers essential AI topics including generative AI, LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technology, and how to build web and voice-enabled applications using Python and related frameworks like Langchain, Flask, and Gradio. Learners will also work with popular models, such as OpenAI GPT, Meta Llama, and use platforms like IBM watsonx and Hugging Face. 
 
Through hands-on labs, students will create real-world applications, such as intelligent chatbots, voice assistants, and data-driven AI agents, gaining practical experience with cutting-edge tools and frameworks. The course culminates with a capstone project where learners build and deploy their own generative AI-powered applications. This not only enhances the learner’s resume but also prepares them for high-demand roles in the AI industry. 
 
Prerequisites 
 
This program does not require any AI or programming experience and is suitable for beginners. It can also benefit existing AI professionals, software developers, and data scientists.
