Quotes
Prof Manjesh K. Hanawal
Professor from IIT Bombay
“Generative AI marks one of the most significant technological shifts of our time, reshaping how ideas are created, knowledge is built, and work is organised. As the focus moves from curiosity to capability, it’s vital that professionals understand and apply this technology responsibly and effectively. This certificate course underscores IIT Bombay’s commitment to enhance conceptual understanding with practical implementation by imparting learning from foundational AI to the emergence and adoption of GenAI. It also equips learners to not just use AI tools, but to understand which Gen AI model is best suited for their use cases and be able to design and deploy reliable GenAI solutions. Learners will reinvent how they looked at AI and Gen AI and emerge more confident in handling AI driven decision making, productivity enhancements and building innovative solutions across industries.”
