In this course, you will learn about the foundations of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). You will explore the connections between AI, ML, deep learning, and the emerging field of generative artificial intelligence (generative AI). You will gain a solid understanding of foundational AI terms, laying the groundwork for a deeper dive into these concepts. Additionally, you will learn about a selection of Amazon Web Services (AWS) services that use AI and ML capabilities. You will gain practical insights into how these tools can be used to solve real-world problems and drive innovation across various industries.
