Course Outline

Module 1: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence Theory

  • Model-Based Frameworks: Approaching AI as a disciplined engineering challenge.
  • Clarifying Capabilities: Defining the operational scope and limitations of AI systems.
  • Technological Progression: Tracing development from early architectures to Transformer models.
  • Application Domains: Applications in analytics, creative services, research, visual media, audio, and video production.
  • Data Governance Principles: Foundational requirements, audit processes, and emerging trends including multimodality, autonomous agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and the comparative analysis of Large Language Models (LLMs) versus Small Language Models (SLMs).
  • Ethical Considerations: Addressing intellectual property rights, algorithmic bias, model hallucinations, and vulnerabilities to social engineering.
  • Risk Evaluation: Mitigating data poisoning, addressing specific threats such as Nepenthes, and managing the potential impact on workforce competency.
  • Model Classification: Distinguishing between foundation models and task-specific solutions; open-weight versus proprietary architectures.

Module 2: Current Landscape and Tool Selection

  • Benchmarking Leaderboards: Comparative analysis of leading language models.
  • Acquisition Criteria: Evaluating cost efficiency, latency, data privacy safeguards, and vendor dependency risks for government use cases.
  • Leading Commercial Models: Overview of OpenAI ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, and xAI Grok.
  • Specialized and Compact Models: Assessment of tools such as Manus and SpecKit.
  • Visual Content Generation: Utilization of platforms like Perchance.
  • Operational Limits: Understanding context window decay and token consumption costs.

Module 3: Interaction Design – Prompt and Context Engineering

  • Validation Frameworks: Ensuring completeness, logical consistency, and verifiability of outputs.
  • RAG Implementation: Determining appropriate use cases for Retrieval-Augmented Generation compared to model fine-tuning.
  • Return on Investment: Balancing maintenance expenditures against productivity improvements for government agencies.
  • Advanced Methodologies: Application of 20+ prompt engineering and RAG techniques with practical examples.
  • Emerging Techniques: Overview of triangulation methods, Map & Terrain strategies, and model-based generation processes.

Module 4: Artificial Intelligence in Agile Project Management

  • Automation Engines: Leveraging AI as a core component of operational infrastructure.
  • Decision Authority: Maintaining human accountability while utilizing AI support.
  • AIOps & GitOps: Integrating intelligent automation into standard operational workflows.
  • Integration Pipelines: Establishing seamless, AI-enhanced development environments.
  • Agile Deliverables: Managing backlogs, roadmaps, and requirements documentation.
  • Estimation Accuracy: Differentiating between capacity planning precision and statistical accuracy.
  • Product Ownership: Facilitating ideation, feature analysis, and identifying risks associated with low-code development methods.
  • Scenario Planning: Conducting "What If" analyses and implementing automated risk management protocols.
  • Requirement Refinement: Standardizing the description and validation of use cases and user stories.
