Information was very good but was definitely not an introduction course. Recommend knowledge in statistics and algorithms prior to this course.

I really liked the course. The team put a lot of effort to create course materials that go beyond the basics (like some other courses in coursera), but still easy to comprehend. It was a pleasure to follow this course with such a professional like Dr Ian McCulloh.

This course provides a strong, practical foundation. It effectively demystifies AI, covering core concepts, key algorithms (NNs, RF, SVMs), and applications. Crucially, it delves into often-overlooked aspects vital for leaders: the immense importance of data labeling quality/consistency, resource tradeoffs (compute, memory), evaluation metrics beyond accuracy, and project management using the ROAD framework. Dr. McCullough clearly explains complex topics, emphasizing the strategic considerations needed to navigate AI implementation successfully. It’s a valuable resource for leaders needing to make informed decisions about integrating AI responsibly and effectively within their organizations.
Dear Dr. McCulloh, Thank you so much for this Introduction to AI. For the people hesitating to take the course, I highly recommend it due to the holistic view on AI and how pedagogical are the lectures (elaborated concepts were simplified to make them quickly understandable). Dr. McCulloh is an exceptional teacher sharing his impressive diversified professional experience in AI with concrete examples, making easier to link them to the theory, and memorize both of them in the long term. Thank you so much again. Best regards. Yves
