Generative AI APIs for Practical Applications: An Introduction
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has taken the tech and business world by storm. It currently can create stories, text, images, summaries, essays, and much more, with sometimes nothing more than a few words to describe what you want. Unfortunately, it can also be used in ways that can be harmful, such as creating deepfakes and false information. In this course, you will discover the differences between generative AI and general AI and look at the history and future of generative AI. You will explore applications of generative AI and the ethical, safety, security, and privacy concerns associated with its use. Then you will identify common generative AI application programming interfaces (APIs) and best practices when using generative AI. Next, you will find out how to create images and text with generative AI, and you will focus on the challenges of AI integration into processes and workflows. Finally, you will learn how to integrate generative AI APIs to create tools like chatbots.

Introduction to the OpenAI API
OpenAI offers an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows users to create, manipulate, and translate text using its available models and endpoints. Understanding how the API works, its limits, and how to effectively use best practices will help you get the most from the interface. In this course, you will explore OpenAI's API, generate an API key, and learn about the impact of social bias and blindness in models. Then, you will discover the ethical usage policy and safety and privacy concerns of OpenAI. Next, you will examine available models and endpoints. You will create a simple text completion, parse a response, troubleshoot common errors, and apply parameters to improve your results. Finally, you will use the language translation API to translate to and from English and identify organizational best practices when using OpenAI to handle scaling, latency, and limits.

Text, Image, & Audio Generation with OpenAI
Although OpenAI can create text, like short stories or ads, it does have some limits. With planning, however, these limitations can be worked around. OpenAI has a rich Application Programming Interface (API) for working with images, including creating images from a description and being able to manipulate just a part of an image. OpenAI can also translate text to speech and even translate spoken language. In this course, you will explore advanced text creation and manipulation concepts in OpenAI. You will work with image generation and modification using an image mask. You will discover object recognition concepts using OpenAI Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training (CLIP). Finally, you will use the OpenAI API to convert speech to and from another language.

Code, Relatedness, & Fine-tuning with OpenAI
OpenAI's potential to increase productivity really shows when it comes to generating, completing partially provided code, or fixing already written code. Other handy features are using embeddings to measure or determine relatedness and fine-tuning a model to solve domain-specific problems. In this course, you will explore OpenAI's code generation and completion application programming interface (API). You will discover how to generate code from comments or complete partially provided code and how to use OpenAI to find libraries to solve problems or rewrite code. Next, you will focus on sentiment analysis and the tone of text and how to use embeddings for searching, clustering, recommending, and classifying. Then, you will examine OpenAI fine-tuning. Finally, you will create and fine-tune a customer-facing chatbot to handle specific scenarios.
