Throughout the course, participants will explore various tasks, including image generation, image captioning, and text summarisation, using Gradio. Gradio is an open-source Python library that enables rapid development of user-friendly and adaptable user interface components for your machine learning model or any API and allows you to build user-friendly applications even for non-coders.

With Gradio, you can effortlessly build intuitive graphical elements to interact with your models or APIs, making them accessible and customisable for users.

By the end of the one-hour course, you will have gained practical knowledge on how to develop interactive apps and demos, facilitating project validation and faster implementation.

Boosting AI Education

Amid mass layoffs and the fear of AI replacing jobs, the founder of DeepLearning.AI has been instrumental in AI literacy. He has said that AI and coding are important to society, that gaining AI and coding skills is empowering individuals, and that schools should teach it to every child.

His courses are comprehensive, covering an extensive range of topics in generative AI, including diffusion models, generative adversarial networks (GANs), and variational autoencoders (VAEs).

Earlier Ng has partnered with AWS, Google, OpenAI, Langchain and more such tech giants to offer free yet valuable courses on generative AI.

Remarkably, these courses are provided completely free of cost and can typically be completed within one to two hours, making them easily accessible and time-efficient.

Besides these short courses, Ng also provides specialised courses on more specific topics like AI for medicine, TensorFlow practices, ethical AI and more.
