Generative AI is on the loose, getting into business and commerce as well as into art, poetry and coding. Already useful, it will become ever more useful as long as we use it properly. Coursera has training for everybody - and for developers and data scientists in particular. Coursera launched a Generative AI Academy in January. As with its other academies covering Leadership, Marketing, Finance and so on, it's part of Coursera For Business aimed at helping companies train their workforce. The mission of the new Generative AI Academy is to: Build Generative AI skills across your entire organization and this includes the upper echelons. There are currently two courses aimed specifically at business leaders. Generative AI for Leaders is from Vanderbilt University, taught by Dr Jules White. Its three modules are:
Their video content totals less than 2 hours in total. However, to earn the certificate there's a three hour graded assessment. If you don't want to do the assessment you can audit this course for free, and can do so even if you are not a business leader. If you are at a more lowly level in an organization, however, you may prefer one of the beginner-level courses that we looked at previously, Google's Introduction to Generative AI and Generative AI for Everyone from Deep Learning AI, taught by Andrew Ng. The other course on Generative AI for top management, Navigating Generative AI: A CEO Playbook, comes from Coursera itself with Jeff Maggioncalda, CEO of Coursera as its lead instructor. It has four modules:
As explained in the Welcome video: this course is a condensed version of our more comprehensive four course specialization that we call navigating generative AI for leaders. This summary course is designed for leaders seeking a dense yet insightful entry into the world of generative AI. If you're pressed for time but eager to start, this is the perfect place for you. All progress that you make here can seamlessly transfer into the more comprehensive specialization, if you want to dive deeper later on.
Maggioncalda is referring to the Navigating Generative AI for Leaders Specialization. This is comprised of four courses with the same titles as for the CEO Playbook with extra content and assignments and requiring 15 hrs in total.
The learning outcomes are also the same:
Coursera has another specialization in Generative AI which comes from IBM and has been tailored for different audiences. The core version is Generative AI Fundamentals Specialization. At Beginner level, and included in Coursera Plus, it is intended to take 3-6 months and its learning outcomes are:
It consists of 5 courses taught by Rav Ahuja and Antonio Cangiano:
Each course has three modules, the final one of which is its Course Quiz, Project and Wrap up. The variations on this Specialization are at Intermediate Level and consist of the first two courses list above with a third course specific to Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Data Science, Software Development/DevSecOps respectively. For example, the third course in the Generative AI For Data Scientists Specialization is Elevate Your Data Science Career. It has three modules:
In the case of Generative AI For Software Developers Specialization, the three course is Elevate your Software Development Career and follows similar lines:
Gaining a certificate that confirms your understanding of Generative AI for your specific job role seems like a worthwhile investment of your time and effort - and should also boost your productivity. A win-win situation.
