Objective

Building AI a flexible online course for anyone who wants to learn about the practical methods that make artificial intelligence a reality. You will get a solid introduction to for example machine learning and neural networks, and you will learn where and how AI methods are applied in real life. It is easy to move freely between the three difficulty levels, from multiple choice exercises to programming with Python – depending on whether you know programming or not. As a result of this course, you will be able to craft your own AI idea and present it to the community. Doing the online course is free of charge, but you can purchase the Building AI certificate to reward yourself for the effort. The certificate will become available upon successful completion of the course.

You can choose the level appropriate for his/her own targets and skills:
- Beginner: No programmic skills needed
- Intermediate: Basic idea of Python-programming recommended
- Advanced: Need for skills in advanced Python-programming
