Introduction to AI Applications on AWS

Artificial intelligence is transforming how we build software, but deploying AI models from scratch can be complex and resource-intensive. Leveraging pre-built cloud services allows you to integrate sophisticated intelligence into your applications quickly and efficiently. This text-based course teaches you how to navigate the AWS ecosystem to select and deploy the right AI services for your project needs. You will transition from understanding core cloud AI concepts to confidently architecting solutions that utilize generative AI, natural language processing, and computer vision. What you will learn: Understand the foundational terminology of cloud-hosted AI and machine learning services; Evaluate and select appropriate AWS AI services for specific business and technical use cases; Configure pre-trained models for computer vision, text analysis, and translation; Implement modern generative AI patterns, including basic prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) concepts; Design secure and scalable architectures to integrate AI services with existing application workflows. The course begins with essential definitions and foundational cloud concepts before guiding you through structured, practical walkthroughs of individual AI services and architectural patterns. This training is designed for software developers, system architects, and technology enthusiasts who are new to AI implementations on the cloud, requiring no prior machine learning experience.
