Prepare to be humbled... just me?
The Elements of AI Course has cute, childlike cartoons to welcome you. Yeah, that is the only childlike thing about it. This thing is a beast. Elements of AI is a free course from the University of Helsinki that does not let you coast. It asks you to think which I realize sounds obvious for a course, but here we are. ๐ You will need to pay attention. There's math, the concepts stack, and it rewards people who slow down and absolutely humbles people who skim. Ask me how I know. Here's the kicker: this is the same material companies are paying to put their employees through. Corporations are licensing it for staff training. They even offer SCORM and xAPI versions if you want to a install it on your LMS. There's also a Part II Building AI that covers machine learning, neural networks, and how AI methods work in the real world. Three difficulty levels, from multiple choice to Python, so you go as deep as you want. No programming background required, and at the end, you craft your own AI idea. I've found several GitHub repos of people's homework for this part. Both courses are free, and you can spend around 50 โฌ to get a certificate. The course recommends you do it with a buddy. Drop a comment if you're interested. Find your person. Go be academically humbled together. ๐คฃ Link to course: https://www.elementsofai.com/
