This course is a great intro to AI concepts. It is well-presented and structured. I enjoyed both the knowledge about what AI is (and is NOT), as well as exposure to common tools - along with the examples and hands-on practices to experiment with these AI tools. A really nice place to start if you want to know more about AI before deciding whether to dive in deeper. Highly recommend!

My boss wanted me to take this class. I've been using ChatGPT for a while, with pretty good results. But now I actually understand how it is working and I'm feeling much smarter about how I am building my prompts. I've also discovered other AI tools that have some specific purposes that are better suited for what I need to do. The teacher (Rob) started off a little stiff, but warmed up to me throughout the course. Some of the examples he gives didn't directly related to me, but they got the point across. I'm going to have my parents takes this class -- it's not too technical and explains things that are complicated in a simple way.
