Collin College Continuing Education (CE) announces a new course, “Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) for the Rest of Us.” The course is an extension of CE’s Data Science certificate series and designed for business leaders and non-technical professionals interested in Generative AI basics and its ethical implications. An information session for the course will be held Wednesday, Jan. 17 at 6:30 p.m. in room 122 at the Courtyard Center, 4800 Preston Park Blvd. in Plano.

According to Anthony Klinkert, curriculum advisor and CE instructor, the course will give insights about AI trends and provide an interactive and practical approach through hands-on learning and real-world applications.
