Course Objective
To provide hands-on mastery of the three core pillars of the IBM watsonx ecosystem (watsonx.ai, watsonx.data, and watsonx.governance) within a unified architectural framework tailored for hybrid cloud and regulated industries.
Participants gain practical experience combining IBM Granite and open-source foundation models with enterprise data to build trustworthy, auditable, and scalable AI applications.
Target Audience and Prerequisites
- Target Audience: Enterprise AI architects, data scientists, ML engineers, and technical professionals leading AI initiatives in regulated industries (finance, telecom, public sector).
- Prerequisites: Basic Python and SQL skills, along with familiarity with machine learning and large language model (LLM) concepts.
Key Takeaways and Focus Areas
- Building
Prompt Labtemplates,Tuning Studiojobs, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows with watsonx.ai studio and SDKs. - Managing enterprise data and vector indexes on an open
lakehousearchitecture (Apache Iceberg, Presto, Milvus) with watsonx.data. - Enforcing model risk management, automated
factsheetgeneration,driftmonitoring, and EU AI Act compliance via watsonx.governance.
