About the Introduction to specialized AI (v2024.10) training

Everybody talks about GPTs, LLMs, and Generative AI. And no wonder – the potential is huge. For the past couple of months, people have tried to harvest its potential. There are some very successful cases, just like there are less successful ones. So, what is the difference between them?

It’s hard to say without knowing the details, but people are talking more about prompts and prompt engineering. They are also talking about context. And while prompts are something that humans need to master, context is different. Here's where the UiPath Platform comes in with its Specialized AI capabilities.

In this course, you'll find out about what Specialized AI is, what's the relation with Generative AI, how can the two work together, and who is expected to put them to work: the Specialized AI Professional.

This course is primarily meant as a starting point for Automation Developers exploring AI as a course of development, but it could also be useful for other professionals looking to understand who is going to put AI to work.

The Introduction to Specialized AI course is a beginner-level course. It takes 45 minutes to complete. At the end, you’ll receive a diploma of completion.
