Microsoft and LinkedIn have made available a free Generative AI course available via LinkedIn Learning. The course provides an introduction to AI. Completing the course and taking a free exam will grant you a free professional certificate in generative AI from Microsoft. Course content is just under 4 hours.
Discover the skills needed to apply generative AI in your career. Learn the core concepts of artificial intelligence and generative AI functionality.
The course has five instructional videos.
The training videos include:
What Is Generative AI?
Whether you work in film, marketing, healthcare, automobile, or real-estate, generative AI is changing the way your job is executed, and those who adapt early will reap its benefits sooner. All professions will be affected by generative AI. Its invention can be compared to the invention of photography, a true creative revolution. If you want to be part of the leaders that are advancing this revolution, this course can get you started on your learning journey.
In this course, generative AI expert Pinar Seyhan Demirdag covers the basics of generative AI, with topics including what it is, how it works, how to create your own content, different types of models, future predictions, and ethical implications.
Generative AI: The Evolution of Thoughtful Online Search
For years, we’ve relied on search engines like Google and Bing to help us navigate the ever-evolving internet. But now that reasoning engines like Chat-GPT have come onto the scene, how can you prepare for the future of online search? In this course, instructor Ashley Kennedy shows you how to get up to speed with the key distinctions and best practices of using reasoning engines that leverage generative AI.
Learn more about the core concepts of generative AI-driven reasoning engines and how they differ from search engine strategy. Along the way, Ashley interviews subject matter experts and offers easy-to-follow advice on how to harness the power of prompt engineering with thoughtful search strategies that help account for the nuances of language, tone, qualifiers, and more.
Streamlining Your Work with Microsoft Bing Chat
Learn how Bing Chat can perform a wide variety of tasks and help you streamline your entire workflow, from generating ideas and summarizing data to solving common work problems such as planning itineraries, scheduling, and communicating with coworkers. Follow along with Jess as she explains how to boost your productivity using Bing Chat, beginning with a quick primer on how chat AI tools function, then diving into how to put them to work for you. By the end of this course, you’ll be ready to perform robust online searches, generate ideas and compose text, automate your work, fact-check the results, and more.
Ethics in the Age of Generative AI
The amazing potential and opportunity of Generative AI has also brought ethical concerns. How can you address these concerns effectively as you deploy tools and products powered by generative AI? In this course, expert Vilas Dhar equips designers and decision makers to better understand and act on the emerging ethical risks and considerations of generative artificial intelligence. Get a solid introduction to the ethical concerns around generative AI, then learn how to use a framework of ethical analysis to address these concerns. Plus, explore ways you can prepare your organization to address ethics in AI across all stakeholders from technology to C-Suite leaders.

sorted byIt will help you decide if there is a particular area of IT you like. (well if that's the area of interest 🤷)
I have three kids and it's hard, but 30 minutes here and there will help.
Just do it, you won't regret it
I’ve watched first video and it looks good so far!
The final (longest) course is a good high level explanation of what the techniques mean.
Still might be a useful introduction for folks, but do be aware it's Microsoft trying to sell Edge, Bing and OpenAI (that they've invested heavily in) rather than a course to actually teach you
/s
Passed first time with 80% (without using AI or other exploits) and studied over a series of three or four days to coincide with my schedule.
My advice to anyone taking this with significant anxiety is to write down the explanation of model terms and examples given to help you grasp the concepts. The final exam expects you to have absorbed this knowledge throughout and gives you lots of role-play questions with the expectancy that you understand the definitions taught to you via the videos in-length.
I feel I could have scored higher if I used a notebook to jot some terms down to help refresh my memory as it's a lot to retain. Nice to have this on my CV. Hope it opens some more career doors for me. (edited)
