โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

AI Canopy is an intermediate-level program. We recommend completing AI Branches first, as Canopy dives deeper into neural networks, large language models, and AI system design.

Expect to spend 5โ€“6 hours on AI Canopy. The technical depth requires more time for comprehension, but every concept is explained with clear visuals and examples.

Yes! AI Canopy covers how large language models work, including the transformer architecture that powers ChatGPT, GPT-4, and similar models. You'll also master prompt engineering techniques.

No programming is required, though having basic technical literacy helps. We explain neural networks and LLMs conceptually with diagrams and interactive visualisations.

Yes! A personalised certificate is available upon completion of all lessons. It demonstrates your understanding of advanced AI concepts.

Prompt engineering is the skill of writing effective instructions for AI models like ChatGPT. It's one of the most in-demand skills in the AI era, and AI Canopy dedicates multiple lessons to mastering it.
