In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, the need for accessible, practical education has never been more crucial. Today, I am excited to announce that fast.ai is joining forces with Answer.AI to bring you a new era of AI education. This partnership is not just about combining resources; it's about creating a new kind of learning experience that leverages the power of AI to solve real-world problems.
For nearly a decade, fast.ai has been at the forefront of democratizing AI education. Our mission has always been to make AI accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. We've achieved this by creating courses that are both deep and practical, teaching thousands of students around the world how to use AI effectively.
Now, as AI technology continues to advance, we recognize that the way we learn and apply AI must also evolve. That's why fast.ai is now part of Answer.AI, a research and development lab dedicated to harnessing the full potential of AI for practical, real-world applications.
As part of this new partnership, we are excited to launch a groundbreaking course: "How to Solve It with Code." This course is not just an update to our previous offerings; it's a全新的 kind of course, one that is only possible with the advancements in AI that we've seen in recent years.
What Makes This Course Different?
In the past, learning to code with AI meant mastering complex tools and techniques. But today, AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude have changed the game. They can generate code, solve problems, and even build applications with minimal input. However, these tools have limitations. They often produce code that is difficult to understand, modify, or extend. This is where "How to Solve It with Code" comes in.
This course is designed to teach you how to work with AI tools in a way that leverages their strengths while allowing you to maintain control and understanding of the code you produce. We call this approach "dialogue engineering," and it's at the heart of everything we do at Answer.AI.
Dialogue Engineering: The Future of AI-Driven Coding
Dialogue engineering is about more than just writing code. It's about having a conversation with AI, guiding it to solve problems in a way that makes sense to you. This approach allows you to build complex applications step by step, ensuring that you understand every part of the code you write.
Through a series of live sessions and interactive exercises, you'll learn how to:
- Iteratively Develop Solutions: Start with a simple idea and gradually build it into a fully functional application.
- Understand and Modify AI-Generated Code: Ensure that you know exactly what your code is doing and how to change it to meet your needs.
- Collaborate with AI: Use AI as a tool to enhance your coding abilities, not replace them.
Why This Course?
In today's world, AI is not just a tool for data scientists and engineers. It's a tool for everyone, from entrepreneurs to artists. But to truly harness its power, you need to understand how it works and how to work with it.
This course is designed for anyone who has used AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude to generate code but has hit a wall when trying to modify or extend that code. It's for anyone who wants to build real, lasting solutions with AI, not just experiments that fall apart when you try to change them.
What You'll Get
- Access to Solve It: A new tool developed by Answer.AI that allows you to work with AI in a way that is both powerful and intuitive.
- Guided Instruction: Learn from Jeremy Howard, Johno Whitaker, Audrey Roy Greenfield, and the fast.ai team.
- Community Support: Be part of a community of learners and builders who are all working towards the same goal.
Course Structure
The course will run in two parts, with live sessions starting on November 26th and January 7th. All sessions will be recorded, so you can learn at your own pace. The course is structured to ensure that you start solving real problems from day one, breaking down complex challenges into manageable pieces.
This is more than just a course; it's a new way of thinking about AI and coding. By the end of this course, you'll have the skills and confidence to build applications that you never thought possible. You'll be part of a new wave of developers who are not just using AI, but mastering it.
Are You Ready to Solve It with Code?
View the course now and see if this course is the right fit for you. Together, we can build a future where AI is not just a tool, but a partner in solving the world's most pressing problems.
