It is definitely a good course for beginners however, if you’ve already been using AI, it’s going to cover a lot of content that you should already know.

Great course to learn about AI. Very hands-on and applicable to your work or personal life in real-time. Already recommended to co-workers and family! Thanks, Google!

Google’s AI essentials course was helpful and kept a good pace. I’d recommend it for anyone new to AI or for anyone who’s already used AI because either way, you’ll learn something new.
