Chapter 1. Why Certify? An Introduction to the AWS AI Practitioner Exam

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Certified AI Practitioner certification—which has the exam code of AIF-C01—is focused at the entry level for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and generative AI. The exam addresses numerous AWS tools.

According to Jenni Troutman, who is the director of Products and Services at AWS Training and Certification:

The AWS Certified AI Practitioner exam is a foundational AI certification that is designed for people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences to show their understanding of AI and generative AI concepts, their ability to recognize opportunities that benefit from AI, and their knowledge on using AI tools responsibly.

If you already know about these topics, this will certainly help with the exam. But it is not a requirement. This book will provide what you need to know, breaking down the concepts that are covered in the exam. There are also sample questions at the end of each chapter, as well as a practice exam.

In this chapter, we’ll look at the following:

  • The reasons to take the exam

  • The audience for it

  • Topics covered in the exam

  • Other certifications to consider
