AI Systems Design: RAG Pipelines and LLM Architecture

Design and prototype enterprise-grade AI solutions that create real business value. In this course, you’ll learn to distinguish when to use predictive ML versus generative AI, align AI initiatives with business outcomes, and define success criteria that balance accuracy, latency, safety, and cost. You’ll compare traditional deterministic software with probabilistic AI systems to understand where AI is appropriate—and where it isn’t. You’ll diagram modern AI system architectures and evaluate build-versus-buy decisions for key components such as models, vector databases, and orchestration layer…
