Course overview

AI

Learn how data becomes models, predictions, and governed AI systems, from first principles through evaluation, transformers, and real deployment decisions.

Start at the top, move stage by stage, then use practice and stage tests when you want a stronger check.

Stage 1 of 3

AI Foundations

Start from data, simple models, and how to read accuracy and bias without drowning in maths.

A friendly but serious introduction to data, models, and how AI systems work.

Module 1

What AI is and why it matters now

AI is a way of learning patterns from data so a system can make predictions, rank options, or automate decisions.

When people say AI, they often mean a system that takes input, applies a learned pattern, and produces an output.

Module 2

Data and representation

In AI, the word data sounds fancy, but it is usually boring.

I want you to feel this in your bones because it shows up everywhere.

Module 3

Supervised and unsupervised learning

When we say a model learns, we mean it changes its internal settings so it can make better guesses.

Practice

Practice test

AI Foundations practice test

Test recall and judgement against the governed stage question bank before you move on.

Use this after the stage modules when you want to spot weak areas without the pressure of a timed assessment. Includes 12 published questions.

Self-paced

Stage test

AI Foundations stage test

Use the untimed stage test when you want a stronger stage-end check and no governed timed route exists yet.

Built from the published stage question bank so you can self-check honestly before the next stage. Includes 12 questions.

AI Intermediate

Work with evaluation, features, embeddings, and practical model use without the buzzword fog.

How modern AI systems are built, evaluated, deployed, and monitored in real work.

Module 1

Models, parameters and training dynamics

A model is still a function that turns input into output.

If you remember one sentence from this section, keep this one.

Module 2

Data, features and representation

Raw data is rarely ready for a model.

My opinion is that if the feature definition is vague, the model will punish you later with confidence and nonsense.

Module 3

Evaluation, metrics and failure analysis

Accuracy is an easy number to like because it feels clean.

Module 4

Deployment, monitoring and drift

Deployment is where good models go to die.

Check whether upstream systems or users are sending different formats, ranges, or missing fields.

Module 5

Responsible AI, limits and deployment risks

AI systems do not understand intent or truth.

The work has shifted from crafting single prompts to designing systems that assemble the right context at the right time.

Module 1

AI systems and model architectures

A model is a component that maps inputs to outputs.

This is the one that causes expensive incidents with very confident postmortems.
