Oracle Cloud AI Foundations (1Z0-1122-25): Exam Prep

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

This course was produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence. AI tools were used to help draft and structure the lessons, generate the on-screen slides, and synthesize the voice narration. All content has been reviewed and curated by the instructor for accuracy and alignment with the current Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2025 AI Foundations Associate (1Z0-1122-25) exam topics.

Get certified on Oracle's free, foundational AI credential. This course delivers exam-focused preparation for the OCI 2025 AI Foundations Associate exam (1Z0-1122-25): a broad, plain-language tour of artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI, plus a clear map of where Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's AI services fit. It is conceptual and beginner-friendly, so no prior AI or Oracle Cloud experience is needed.

What this course covers, mapped to Oracle's official 1Z0-1122-25 exam topics:

• Intro to AI Foundations (10%): core AI concepts and vocabulary, AI tasks, enterprise use cases, and the limits and risks of AI
• Intro to Machine Learning Foundations (15%): supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, the ML workflow, and evaluation ideas like overfitting and underfitting
• Intro to Deep Learning Foundations (15%): neural networks, layers, weights, and activation, and matching CNNs, RNNs, and transformers to the right data type
• Intro to Generative AI and LLMs (15%): generative vs discriminative models, tokens, embeddings, context windows, and choosing prompt engineering, RAG, or fine-tuning
• Get Started with the OCI AI Portfolio (15%): AI Services vs OCI Data Science vs in-database ML vs the OCI Generative AI service, and when to use each
• Intro to OCI AI Services (20%): OCI Language, Speech, Vision, Document Understanding, Anomaly Detection, and Forecasting, and the task each one solves
• OCI Generative AI Service and Oracle Database 23ai (10%): foundation models, dedicated AI clusters, prompting, fine-tuning, RAG, and AI Vector Search in Oracle Database 23ai

How this course prepares you: every topic is explained in clear terms with concrete examples, then framed the way the exam asks it, so you learn to match a business need to the correct AI concept or OCI service. You will practice the commonly confused pairs the exam loves: supervised vs unsupervised vs reinforcement learning, machine learning vs deep learning, generative vs discriminative models, prompt engineering vs RAG vs fine-tuning, and pretrained AI Services vs custom models vs in-database ML. Two full practice tests and a final exam-simulation chapter build your timing and confidence.

This is a read-and-understand course. A free Oracle Cloud account and Oracle's free MyLearn training are more than enough to follow along, and neither is required to benefit from the course. Perfect for beginners, career changers, developers, data professionals, and business stakeholders who want AI fluency and a recognized Oracle credential.

The 1Z0-1122-25 exam is free and delivered online through Oracle MyLearn, with an approximate question count (about 40 to 65 items) in roughly a 90-minute window and a passing score commonly cited near 65 percent. Oracle refreshes these AI Foundations exams roughly annually, so always confirm the current version, topics, and details on Oracle's official 1Z0-1122-25 exam page before scheduling.
