Machine Learning & AI Engineering: Build Your Own AI Models

About this course

Artificial intelligence is built by people who understand how models learn — and Africa needs thousands more of them, building AI for our languages, farms, hospitals and businesses. This course takes you from machine-learning fundamentals to building and deploying your own AI models. You'll learn with freeCodeCamp's Machine Learning for Everybody (Kylie Ying), StatQuest, 3Blue1Brown's beautiful neural-network series, and Andrej Karpathy — a founding member of OpenAI and former head of AI at Tesla — who shows you how to build a neural network and a small GPT from scratch, line by line. Then you'll learn scikit-learn, deep learning and CNNs, transformers and Hugging Face, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and fine-tuning of large language models, deployment with Gradio and FastAPI, MLOps, and responsible AI — including Africa's own AI community: Masakhane, the Deep Learning Indaba and Zindi. You'll finish by building and deploying an AI model that solves a real problem. About 30 hours of video plus projects.
