Specialization - 7 course series

What you'll learn

  • Performance monitoring is essential for maintaining AI system reliability and fairness across diverse user populations

  • Technical architecture decisions (fine-tuning vs RAG) require systematic evaluation of costs, capabilities, and maintenance requirements

  • Effective AI governance requires proactive policy creation, technical guardrails, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure responsible deployment

  • Sustainable AI operations depend on establishing measurable quality benchmarks and continuous feedback loops

What you'll learn

  • Reliable MLOps depends on systematic diagnosis: performance issues are solved by log analysis and pipeline investigation, not guesswork.

  • Governance must be automated into deployment—responsible AI needs CI/CD checks for fairness, explainability, and safe rollbacks, not manual reviews.

  • Adaptive systems need intelligent automation—production models should monitor drift and trigger retraining automatically to stay accurate.

  • Operational excellence requires end-to-end visibility, strong monitoring, versioning and audit trails enable fast debugging and long-term reliability
