IBM will teach you the basics of artificial intelligence completely free of charge

Long before ChatGPT came on the scene and sucked all the air out of the room, there was IBM Watson. Watson himself rose to fame when he defeated reigning champion Ken Jennings on the television game show Jeopardy in 2011. But now the company is doing something different - it is teaching others the basics of AI. The publication told in more detail ZD Net.

Now IBM has been working with artificial intelligence for a long time and does not sit still. Its generative AI solution is called Watsonx. It aims to enable companies to implement and manage both traditional machine learning and generative AI based on their unique needs.

The IBM AI Fundamentals program is built on the SkillsBuild training portal. This program takes approximately ten hours to complete and includes six courses.

“Since I have been interested in AI ethics for a long time (I once defended my dissertation on AI ethics), I took a course on AI ethics. It was good, writes David Gewirtz. — It discussed the problem of balancing technology and ethical responsibility. Key topics included the five pillars of AI ethics, the importance of fairness and avoidance of bias, and the need for AI systems to be transparent, explainable, and resistant to attack. In addition, during the session, special attention was paid to governance, protection of personal data and the importance of privacy through data minimization and differentiated privacy.”

“Teaching plan for the basics of artificial intelligence”: In this curriculum, you'll learn the history of artificial intelligence and then see how it can change the world. Along the way, you'll take a deep dive into the ways AI makes predictions, understands language and images, and learns using circuits inspired by the human brain. After a hands-on session in which students build and test a machine learning model, you'll receive tips on how to pursue a career in AI.

"Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" (1 hour 15 minutes): artificial intelligence is less than a century old, but it has already experienced three waves of transformational development. Today, it gives humanity the most powerful tools for analyzing complex data, allowing not only to find meaning, but also to learn without human intervention. In this course, you'll explore the history of AI and explore the ways it can shed light on unstructured data.

"Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision" (1 hour 30 minutes): You may already know that some artificial intelligence systems are capable of understanding human language, recognizing visual patterns, and even creating original works of art. But do you know how such systems do this? In this course, you'll explore the theory of natural language processing and vision, and how these technologies power real-world engines such as chatbots and photo analysis.

"Machine and Deep Learning" (2 hours): in this course you'll see how machines can learn and make amazing, evidence-based predictions. Explore the logic behind computers' ability to learn, then explore new ways to solve complex problems using AI systems built from neurons in the human brain.

"Running AI Models with IBM Watson Studio" (1 hour 45 minutes): In this course, you will practice building an AI machine learning model through a series of simulations using IBM Watson Studio. This is a practical session that will help you in real-life work with AI.

"AI Ethics" (1 hour 45 minutes): You may have heard about problems that arise when AI systems misinterpret data or propose solutions that reflect human biases. Through real-life examples, you'll learn about AI ethics, how it is implemented, and why AI ethics is so important to building trustworthy AI systems.

"Your Future in AI: The Job Landscape" (1 hour): Have you thought about a career in artificial intelligence? In this course, you'll learn about the rapidly growing AI job market and the skills needed to succeed in this exciting field. You'll learn how seasoned professionals started their careers, and find resources and learning opportunities to help you work alongside them.
