That gap is what we mean by AI engineering. AI engineering is the discipline of building efficient, reliable, safe, and robust intelligent systems that operate in the real world, not just models in isolation. Our mission is to establish AI engineering as a foundational discipline alongside software engineering and computer engineering, by teaching how to design, build, and evaluate end-to-end intelligent systems. Our goal: Help 100,000 learners master ML Systems this year, and reach 1 million by 2030. I designed this as a single integrated curriculum,…
