The Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence is currently offering a free six-part online course, ‘The Elements of AI,” available to anyone interested in learning what AI is, what is possible (and not possible) with AI, and how it affects our lives – with no complicated math or programming required. The course was developed through a collaboration between the University of Helsinki and Reaktor, a tech strategy company. The course is a part of the AI Education program of the Finnish Center for AI, and offered in cooperation with The Open University, and Mooc.fi.
The course is divided into 6 parts:
- What is AI?
- Solving problems with AI
- Real world AI
- Machine learning
- Neural networks
- Implications
