If you are new to IT and AWS Cloud, you should first start with [AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials](https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/134/aws-cloud-practitioner-essentials?p=cert&c=ai&z=4) or [AWS Technical Essentials](https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/1851/aws-technical-essentials?p=cert&c=ai&z=4). Certified individuals holding the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner or an Associate-level AWS Certification do not need to take the foundational cloud courses and can start with free AI foundational training also included in the Exam Prep Plans. ### How will the AWS Certified AI Practitioner help my career? * AWS Certified AI Practitioner helps individuals demonstrate their broad foundational knowledge of AI, ML, generative AI, and AWS AI services through an industry-recognized credential. ### How is AWS Certified AI Practitioner different from AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and AWS Certified AI Business Strategist? * **Compared to AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner**Exam content outline for Cloud Practitioner contains only one task statement related to AI. In contrast, the entire exam content outline for AWS Certified AI Practitioner focuses on AI, ML, and generative AI. You should take the exam that best aligns with your interests and needs.

AWS Certified AI Business Strategist validates business judgment for AI decisions: which AI investments to pursue, how to build the business case, how to apply governance to manage risk, and how to drive adoption from pilot to production. This certification does not assess knowledge of AWS AI services. AWS Certified AI Practitioner validates foundational knowledge of AI, ML, generative AI concepts and AWS AI services. You have the option to earn both if you want to demonstrate both technical AI knowledge and strategic AI business judgment. ### What certification(s) should I earn next after AWS Certified AI Practitioner?
