Frequently asked questions about the Introduction to Generative AI course

  • What is the difference between "Traditional" and "Generative" AI?

    Traditional AI is generally used to analyse data and make predictions based on patterns. Generative AI goes a step further by using those patterns to create entirely new and original content, such as text, images, or even protein sequences.

  • Is Generative AI just for "creative" jobs?

    Absolutely not. While it excels at writing and design, it is also revolutionising sectors such as healthcare drug discovery, finance, automated reporting, and software engineering code generation.

  • Can Generative AI be trusted to be accurate?

    While powerful, these models can "hallucinate" or provide incorrect information. This course highlights why human oversight and independent verification are critical when using AI tools.

  • Will I need special software to start?

    No. All you need is an up-to-date web browser and a broadband connection to access our flexible online training platform.
