What you'll learn

Pass the AWS Certified AI Business Strategist (AIB-C01) exam: 8 sections, a full practice exam, section quizzes, and a 43-page study guide.

Explain AI, machine learning and generative AI in business terms: training and inference, data quality, drift, bias, and why a model gets things wrong.

Decide when AI fits a problem, and how prompting, retrieval and fine tuning adapt a model to your business, starting with the cheapest option.

Find and prioritize AI opportunities, choose between build, buy and partner, and define KPIs and baselines before any work starts.

Build both sides of an AI business case, and estimate and track AI spend with AWS Pricing Calculator and AWS Cost Explorer.

Govern AI responsibly: responsible AI dimensions, risk classification, accountability, access control, and safeguards like Amazon Bedrock Guardrails.

Lead an AI transformation with the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework: assess readiness, prepare your data and people, and scale a pilot across the business.
