What you'll learn

Many people use generative AI tools without understanding how they work or how to assess their outputs. In this course, Generative AI Models and Architecture, you’ll learn to confidently explain, evaluate, and apply core generative AI technologies. First, you’ll explore how transformer-based models like GPT process language using tokenization, embeddings, and attention. Next, you’ll discover how other generative architectures like GANs, VAEs, and diffusion models compare — and what they’re each designed to do. Finally, you’ll learn how to evaluate generative outputs, understand model training workflows, and recognize risks like bias and misuse. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of AI model architecture needed to make smarter, more informed decisions in your work.
