What Dr. Senthil studied
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
AI is less than a century old, yet it already gives us the most powerful tools for analyzing complex data — not only to find meaning, but to learn without human intervention. This course surveys AI's history, from its earliest waves of development to where it may go next, and looks at how AI sheds light on unstructured data.
Topics covered:- What AI is, and how it differs from augmented intelligence
- The three levels of artificial intelligence
- The three eras of computing — Tabulation, Programming, and AI
- Structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data
- How machine learning uses probabilistic calculation to solve problems
- Supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning
- How AI and machine learning may transform human life going forward
Large Language Model Basics
An entry point into how large language models actually work — what they are, the mechanics behind them, and where they show up in real business applications.
Topics covered:- Defining large language models (LLMs)
- Key LLM concepts, including transformers
- Common business applications of LLMs
Mastering the Art of Prompting
A hands-on, activity-based course covering the rules for effectively prompting an AI language model — put into practice through two guided exercises: planning a travel itinerary, and building a custom music playlist, entirely through prompt refinement.
Topics covered:- How an AI language model understands and responds to humans
- Rules for writing effective, focused prompts
- Applied practice: refining prompts for a travel itinerary scenario
- Applied practice: refining prompts to build a custom music playlist
