AI & Generative AI for Beginners — Experience the Power of AI
Artificial Intelligence is transforming software development, data analytics, business and almost every industry. This free 2-hour beginner-friendly workshop is designed to help students, fresh graduates, working professionals and anyone interested in AI understand what Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI actually are and how modern AI applications work.
The workshop begins with simple explanations of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, NLP, Computer Vision and Generative AI. Instead of focusing only on theory, participants will experience multiple real-world AI applications through live demonstrations.
Participants will see how Machine Learning can make predictions, how Computer Vision can recognize objects, how Generative AI can create and understand content, how an AI assistant can work with documents using RAG, how AI can analyze data and how modern AI Agents can perform multi-step tasks using tools.
The workshop also explains how these technologies are connected and provides a clear learning and career roadmap for beginners interested in AI, Data Science, Data Analytics and software development.
No previous Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning or programming experience is required. The demonstrations are designed so that complete beginners can understand the concepts and experience the possibilities of modern AI.
Participants interested in learning how AI applications are actually developed can continue to our next hands-on session, Workshop 2 — Build Your First Generative AI Application, where a working AI application will be developed live step by step.
