Attending the 8-hour AI bootcamp led by Carl Holden in early May 2024 was an enlightening and engaging experience. The bootcamp was not only fun and interactive but also incredibly educational. Carl’s expertise and teaching style made complex AI concepts accessible and understandable. The hands-on activities and real-world examples he provided helped solidify our understanding and demonstrated the practical applications of AI in various aspects of our lives.

 

What stood out to me the most was how Carl connected AI to everyday work scenarios, showing us how to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity and efficiency. By the end of the session, I felt equipped with valuable knowledge and skills that I could immediately apply to my professional and personal life. The bootcamp was a perfect blend of theory and practice, making it a highly valuable experience for anyone looking to delve into the world of AI.

I am grateful to have participated in Carl Holden’s first North Alabama Artificial Intelligence Bootcamp (8-hours). This course is a perfect blend of introductory and advanced knowledge and skill level working with AI platforms and transcends multiple industries. I strongly encourage people to take this course and unlock a new skillset to confidently use AI.


Carl was very engaging, clear and efficient on delivering the material in the two 4-hour sessions while keeping time open to field questions. The course was a healthy balance between AI theory, frameworks, and most important hands-on training. This is the first course or experience that provided an organized approach to acquiring and organizing information you are seeking from an AI platform. While I was aware of the popular online AI platforms (ChatGPT and Canva), Carl adeptly demonstrated on a host of other AI platforms (Leonardo, Perplexity, Claude, Invideo, PlayHT, Gemini, Grok, MarketMuse) that dramatically increased my arsenal of AI platforms.


 I thought the true power of this course were the hands-on experience of fusing the information generated from multiple AI’s to deliver incredible presentations that have true application in our work environments. Carl’s AI frameworks, demonstrations, and models for effective marketing and SEO are essential skills to navigating the dynamic evolution of AI!

I recently attended a two-day AI bootcamp that provided a great overview of artificial intelligence, tailored for both beginners and those looking to deepen their understanding of the technology. The course covered a wide range of topics, starting with the fundamentals of AI and progressing to advanced applications, including harnessing language models, generating imagery, and creating video and audio content using the latest AI models.
One of the best aspects of the bootcamp was the depth and breadth of instruction, particularly for an introductory bootcamp. The sessions were well-structured and thoughtfully designed to build upon each other, ensuring that participants could grasp complex concepts with ease. Carl has a remarkable ability to simplify intricate AI principles, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of their prior knowledge. The bootcamp also explored important areas such as navigating legal and TRUST issues in AI, implementing best practices, and combining AI with internet resources through Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). These topics were particularly valuable, offering practical insights that are essential for anyone looking to integrate AI into their professional or personal projects.
Overall, I really enjoyed the AI bootcamp; it was a comprehensive and rewarding experience worth both the time and cost. It provided a solid foundation in AI and offered a glimpse into its vast potential across various domains. By considering the distinct needs of creative and business-oriented learners in future versions, they might further enhance the learning experience and ensure that participants get the most out of their time.
