<p>Good morning, Oklahoma City. Java Champion and NY Java SIG chair
Frank Greco has graciously worked it out with his publisher to
offer his "Foundations of AI/ML for Java Developers" for free
until June 30. You can find the course at the link below. Note
that when you follow that link, there's a button that allows
people to sign up for a free full trial of LinkedIn Learning, but
you do not have to sign up for the trial to access the course.</p>
<p>The course description from the site states</p>

<div>In this course, explore the exciting world of artificial
intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) from a Java
developer’s perspective. Start with the essential principles
of AI/ML and why patterns are so important. Learn how to
differentiate between AI, ML, and deep learning, and clearly
understand predictive AI versus generative AI. Join
instructor Frank Greco to build a solid foundation on how to
use ML in your software development projects and processes
effectively.</div>
