Frequently asked questions

Generative AI models are algorithms that create new content such as text, images, or code; based on patterns learned from data. Common types include GANs, VAEs, and transformer-based models like GPT.

Foundation models are large-scale AI models trained on vast, diverse datasets and adaptable across a wide range of tasks. Examples include GPT, BERT, and CLIP.

The four models of AI are reactive machines, limited memory, theory of mind, and self-aware AI; representing increasing levels of complexity and cognitive capabilities.

Yes, GPT-4 is a foundation model. It is a large language model trained on broad datasets and can be fine-tuned for various natural language tasks.

Generative AI is built on machine learning techniques such as neural networks, deep learning, and transformer architectures. Key foundations include model training, data representation, and probabilistic generation.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
