Welcome to our Generative AI Essentials learning path. Given the emergence and rapid adoption of new tools such as ChatGPT, Large Language Models, Stable Diffusion image generators, and voice/music engines it is now possible for everyone to make creative content with high quality, quickly and at low cost.
In this learning path we give you the essential skills to start working with Generative AI:
- Prompt Engineering
These are the instructions which you need to direct text, image and video generators to create high quality content - Text
We introduce the text prompting maturity model as a fundamental building block and progress to learn prompting for multiple types of text content - Images, Sound and Voice
This includes image generation for artwork and realistic avatars, and sound and voice generation - Video and mini-movies
All the above elements can be combined to produce short videos of animated avatars performing a role or speaking a text - Risks and Regulation
We address ethical dilemmas and the EU AI Act
This course is relevant for business professionals, designers, artists, copyrighters, musicians and any creative professional. You will learn how AI can now be used to generate near human quality content in a wide variety of applications.
The learning objectives are:
- Discover how you can use AI to generate many types of content quickly and cheaply.
- Learn the basic concepts which underpin Generative AI (Encoding, Transformers, Diffusion etc).
- Understand how to direct large language models to produce your desired content (ChatGPT, GPT-4 etc).
