Designing and Building AI Products and Services
Designing and Building AI Products and Services is a 10-week online MIT xPRO program, delivered with Emeritus, that teaches technical product leaders, technologists, consultants and founders to design, build and pitch AI-based products. Nine modules cover the AI design process, machine learning and deep learning fundamentals, generative AI with RAG and chain-of-thought prompting, human-computer interaction and superminds; three live sessions cover agentic AI and the Model Context Protocol. Expect about 6 hours per week; the content assumes calculus, linear algebra, statistics and probability. Passing at 70 percent earns a certificate of completion and 6 CEUs.
