Elements of AI: Introduction to AI
Elements of AI: Introduction to AI is a free beginner course from Elements of AI, online. It ends with a free certificate. Elements of AI doesn't say how long it takes.
Before you sign up
Suits anyone who wants a grounding in what AI is before learning a specific tool, with no programming and only basic maths. Both the course and the digital certificate are free. The main caveat is time: each part takes about 4 to 8 hours, and peer-reviewed answers can delay the certificate. A shorter UK alternative is Living with AI from the Scottish AI Alliance.
