What you'll learn

Everyone's talking about AI, but most explanations are either marketing hype or academic theories that don’t help with real implementation decisions. In this course, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, you'll learn to understand what AI actually is and make informed decisions about using it in production.

First, you'll explore how AI learns through pattern recognition rather than true understanding. Next, you'll discover AI's core capabilities in language processing, computer vision, and decision-making, along with their fundamental limitations. Finally, you'll learn how to evaluate what works in production versus what fails, including monitoring, deployment strategies, and cost management. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of AI fundamentals needed to make better implementation decisions and avoid common pitfalls that derail AI projects.
