This introductory course sets the foundation for the machine learning (ML) lifecycle and role-based training for ML engineers on Amazon Web Services (AWS). In this course, you will review ML basics and the algorithms behind common solutions, and examine how ML and artificial intelligence (AI) evolved into deep learning and generative AI. You will learn how to apply ML and AI responsibly, how to formulate an ML problem from a business goal, and how to determine whether an ML solution is feasible. You will also be introduced to Amazon SageMaker AI, a fully managed service for building, training, and deploying ML models.
