What you'll learn

Generative AI projects often fail not because the model is advanced, but because the underlying data is flawed or the validation process is incomplete. In this course, Data Quality and Ground Truth for Generative AI, you’ll gain the ability to build strong data foundations and design validation workflows that expose weaknesses before AI systems reach production. First, you’ll explore how to assess data sources for quality, representativeness, and bias, and understand why consistent labeling practices are critical for building reliable ground truth datasets. Next, you’ll discover how to document dataset lineage, assumptions, and constraints to ensure reproducibility and auditability across teams and model versions. Finally, you’ll learn how to validate AI systems using appropriate evaluation methods, structured error analysis, and scalable workflows that reduce risk across iterative development cycles. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge needed to reduce generative AI failures by strengthening data quality and validation practices from the ground up.
