The course provided an excellent introduction, explaining what AI is and what it is actually capable of. Explaining how results were accomplished and how the process works were very informative.

Really good course. It provides a good overview of key issues in AI. Useful course for non-technical business leaders wanting to understand key concepts in AI which they can take back to their firms.
