Generative AI Automation Specialization

The Generative AI Automation Specialization, created by Vanderbilt University and hosted on Coursera, empowers learners to leverage ChatGPT and other large language models to automate complex tasks with precision and creativity. Designed for beginners, this four-course program—spanning roughly four weeks at 10 hours per week—does not require prior AI experience and offers flexible, self-paced learning. Participants begin with fundamentals of prompt engineering and advance through topics like data analysis, building trust in AI systems, and applying GPT-augmented vision capabilities. Through guided hands-on projects, learners master how to create powerful prompts, automate workflows involving text, files, and images, and ensure results are reliable and ethically sound. Upon completion, participants receive a shareable certificate and gain practical skills to amplify personal productivity, execute business automation, and unlock the full potential of generative AI tools .
