AI Fundamentals for Researchers

The Software Sustainability Institute (www.software.ac.uk) is an EPSRC, AHRC, BBSRC, ESRC, NERC, MRC and STFC funded national facility that cultivates world-class research with software.We help people build better software, and we work with researchers, developers, funders and infrastructure providers to identify key issues and best practice in research software.

Institute for Research Software

A beginner-level introduction to the landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques.

Good practice in RS development in the age of AI

This free-of-charge series provides researchers with accessible, practical training and resources to build understanding of artificial intelligence and develop skills to use AI tools effectively and responsibly in research.

A beginner-level introduction to the landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. This course will help researchers build a foundational understanding of key areas within AI, including machine learning, deep learning, and large language models (LLMs) including what they are, how they work, and how they relate to one another within the broader AI ecosystem. Designed for researchers with little or no prior knowledge of AI, this course provides clear, accessible explanations without requiring any coding or statistics experience.
