Introduction to AI
Introduction to AI is a foundational course designed to help students understand the core concepts behind modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) and confidently begin working with today’s AI technologies. Rather than focusing on a specific product or vendor, the course explains the fundamental principles that power modern AI systems, including Large Language Models (LLMs), AI assistants, AI agents, and prompt engineering.
Participants will learn what Artificial Intelligence is, how Large Language Models generate responses, and how AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot fit into the broader AI ecosystem. The course also introduces AI agents, responsible AI usage, and practical prompting techniques that help users communicate effectively with AI assistants and consistently produce better results.
Designed for beginners, this course establishes a strong conceptual foundation for future learning in Artificial Intelligence, secure AI development, and AI-assisted cybersecurity, cloud computing, software development, and automation.
