Artificial Intelligence (AI) Fundamentals

This microcredentialmicrocredential moves learners from AI awareness to AI agency. Learners build technical intuition for modern AI systems. They practice advanced prompting and create agentic workflows that use tools, memory, and human in the loop checkpoints. Through hands on labs and case based discussions, learners apply Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with private data as well as open Large Language Models (LLMs). Learners use risk and governance controls and design AI solutions for their own domain. Each solution includes measurable return on investment (ROI). The microcredential concludes with a capstone presentation of a functional AI agent or workflow. Learners who successfully complete this microcredential earn a practical toolkit and an ethical, transdisciplinary mindset to support responsible AI adoption in their field. Areas of Study: - Artificial Intelligence
