If you are new to IT and AWS Cloud, you should first start with AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials or AWS Technical Essentials.

How is AWS Certified AI Practitioner different from AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner?
AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner focuses on overall knowledge of AWS Cloud and gives a foundational-level overview of all AWS services. AWS Certified AI Practitioner covers the breadth of AI frameworks, concepts, and associated AWS technologies, with an emphasis on generative AI. The 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. You also have the option to earn both certifications if you want to demonstrate a strong grasp of both AWS cloud and AI/ML.
What certification(s) should I earn next after AWS Certified AI Practitioner?
For individuals transitioning to cloud careers, we recommend AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (ACSAA).
