(This program was formerly part of a three-course specialization called Autonomous AI for Industry. Because the software program Bonsai was discontinued, references to Bonsai have been removed. You can still learn about autonomous AI and machine teaching through our two individual courses "Designing Autonomous AI" and "Machine Teaching for Autonomous AI.")
Just as teachers help students gain new skills, the same is true of artificial intelligence (AI). Machine learning algorithms can adapt and change, much like the learning process itself. Using the machine teaching paradigm, a subject matter expert (SME) can teach AI to improve and optimize a variety of systems and processes. The result is an autonomous AI system. In this course, you’ll learn how automated systems make decisions and how to approach designing an AI system that will outperform current capabilities. Since 87% of machine learning systems fail in the proof-concept phase, it’s important you understand how to analyze an existing system and determine whether it’d be a good fit for machine teaching approaches. For your course project, you’ll select an appropriate use case, interview a SME about a process, and then flesh out a story for why and how you might go about designing an autonomous AI system. At the end of this course, you’ll be able to: • Describe the concept of machine teaching • Explain the role that SMEs play in training advanced AI • Evaluate the pros and cons of leveraging human expertise in the design of AI systems • Differentiate between automated and autonomous decision-making systems • Describe the limitations of automated systems and humans in real-time decision-making • Select use cases where autonomous AI will outperform both humans and automated systems • Propose an autonomous AI solution to a real-world problem • Validate your design against existing expertise and techniques for solving problems

Very well structured and paced. Tackles some important topics with real life examples to back it up.

LIke most courses, the more you put in, the more you get out. The same is true here. Courses depending on peer review, depend on building a significant number of engaged participant's. If this doesn't occur, the peer review feedback is zero or next to useless. Unfortunately, this applies to this course.
I have bought at least one book by the author of this course and read a number research papers. So the ideas behind are great. In later courses there is some hands on work, using the Bonzai platform. However the necessary material has disappeared from the Bonsai platform, so ...
Some interesting ideas. I guess the number of students was insufficient to justify any expenditure on supporting the course.
This course teaches you useful AI - how to use the skills of industrial operators to desing Autonomous AI brains that outperforms industrial processes, using Machine Teaching. It is taught using an engaging storytelling technique, full of real world examples where Machine Teaching has been applied to solve high business value problems. By the end of the course, you will know how to select winning use cases and how to apply Machine Teaching to design an Autonomous AI brain for your own use case.
This AI course was truly a game-changer for me! The instructor's teaching style was phenomenal, making even the most complex concepts easy to understand. Their enthusiasm for the subject was contagious, leaving me eager to learn more about AI every day. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their knowledge in the field. The instructor's passion and expertise make this course an unforgettable experience.
El curso es realmente de alta calidad y muy interesante, puedo decir que aprendí y estoy contento de haberlo tomado. Cumple con las características mencionadas y para un principiante como yo es perfecto para empezar. Las actividades son buenas y la modalidad autogestionada es muy cómoda. Realmente no siento que haya algo para mejorar, más allá de la disponibilidad de idioma
Well organized, well presented and gave me a totally new perspective on applicability of machine learning in complex industrial processes. Kence Anderson is a remarkably gifted teacher and made the whole course a joy to follow. He could even paraphrase others' so well and meaningfully in interviews just as well. Thank you for this opportunity.

These are world class. the best.
VERY GOOD
very good

its full of stories and interviews nothong to lllearn in this course i was expecting the best from university of washington but i am really disapointed after go through the complete course
its full of interviews and stories
