Before you sign up

Suits managers and business staff who don't build models but need to make decisions about AI. One four-course University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) series covers AI fundamentals, marketing and finance, people management, and strategy and governance. Coursera describes it as 4 weeks at 10 hours a week. The main caveat is cost: it isn't free to take and no price is shown, though financial aid is available. A free-to-enroll alternative is AI For Everyone, Andrew Ng's non-technical course of about 7 hours.
