About the Course
Introduction to AI Agents is a comprehensive course that examines the fundamental shift from traditional AI tools to autonomous systems capable of operating continuously, processing real-time data, and coordinating complex workflows without constant human oversight. Across three modules, learners explore AI agent fundamentals, the frameworks and platforms organizations use to deploy agents, and the security and risk considerations that arise when agents operate at scale. By the end of the course, learners will understand how agents make decisions, where autonomous action creates organizational blind spots, and how to approach governance when agents are making thousands of decisions per hour across business-critical systems.
