The course design is excellent specially for beginners to study and understand the basic concepts in Artificial Intelligence. The lessons and course material are perfect and apt for this course-level.

This introduction course is a great way to start your way in the AI world. It gives some advice that will give an idea to newbies on what to learn particularly they recommended to learn math and stat.

This course has piqued my interest, now I cannot get enough and aim to complete the entire specialization.

Loved this foundational course - very informative, engaging, and gave useful real world examples of the benefits and challenges in AI perception and deployment.

Third course done in Coursera, and this was the most disappointing one. Many interviews, nice chats, but not so much content. I was expecting some more theory/practice, not so much documentary.

Terrible, very poor "course". I would not even call it a course rather something like: Interview with some AI experts. At the end what we get is just some opinions and the quizes are connected to these instead of objective actual knowledge. This peer-graded assignment at the end is also just wasting of time and like a bad joke. I would not recommend this "course" at all. I think I stop the complete specialization and search a program where I can learn something.

The course does an excellent job touching on the concept of each major ideas within AI. The course is suitable for people of all backgrounds (including non-programmers) and business leaders to get a grasp of the latest technology. The course should be built upon in the same specialization with more in-depth explanation of the same concepts using mathematical formulas and/or programming languages rather than by the application of AI using IBM Watsons, which is viewed irrelevant for me as a business person who does not do direct business with IBM.

I absolutely loved each part of this course, the interviewees were always clearly and to the point.

the course is more on oral explanation, it is good to hear from professionals and their vast experience. for a beginner this is more than the enough to kick start

There were way too many lecture videos and not enough practice examples through Watson AI!
The lectures from Tanmay Bakshi were monotonous and repetitive!
Please bring in more "industry leaders" in AI for lectures and interviews in future!

As someone who has produced educational content for complex software for enterprises, I think the content and materials for THIS module could have been structured and written more efficiently and more effectively. I would strongly consider rebuilding by focusing on goals and objectives for the course and streamlining content. I actually had to skip this module after week 2 and start on the next courses (which were much better) for the specialization/certification and come back to this course thereafter to finish.

A very nice introduction to artificial intelligence, with a nice balance between information around applications and key considerations, including ethics, and the high level definitions of technical aspects of artificial intelligence application itself. The breakdowns of the various divisions of the field, including how and we we might use deep learning, for instance, where fascinating and simple enough that someone who is unfamiliar with the field might be able to come away with an idea of what they would like to learn more about.

I enjoyed taking this course and I think that it was an excellent introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI). This course had a very well-organized structure and provided clear and concise overviews of relevant topics and application areas of AI, along with interesting hands-on labs, quizzes, and useful readings to review and expand upon what the student has learned. Overall, I think that the instructor and contributors to the course did a great job in making learning about AI approachable and interesting.

This course provideded me with the knowledge of the most basic AI terminolgy and gave me a good introduction to some of its main applications. I may not be smarter after this course, but I feel much more enlightened and prepared for discussions about AI. That's g

Its a good introductory content on AI however, it is not really a course but more like a session on AI- where you are getting to see interviews with key AI torchbearers.
As a stand-alone I would not recommend however, the full 3 course curriculum may be beneficial

The first of 6 courses is an absolute waste of time. You will spend most of the time with useless videos that teach you nothing but the "idea" of some speakers. The information are scattered and there is a nonsense strategy that will bring you to the first excercise. The you will discover that the course require you the IBM account. Once you did it you find a painfull UI ( thanks IBM ... use the AI to understand what User Experience is, please! ) where you just get lost. Than following the tutorial you just do things like a monkey until you reach the "run button". Here we go ... the outcome is an unexpected error and there is no way to fix it. No one can help you ... you are requested to take a snap to advance to proof you did the excercise. Finally, even if you are able to do the excercise, when you reach the end of the cours you discver that you have to do a test ( and it's ok ), but this test will be checked by other users ( what? not instructors? ) and that you are obliged to do the same because you will be assigned to check the other user's tests.

An interesting course, but some external links didn't work, and it's impossible to create an account with IBM Cloud, so there's no way to do the final exercise. A bit of a waste of time.

I really enjoyed the course. It was interactive and practical. I now understand the real meaning of AI. I was really unaware of the Ethics and Bias part of AI which I learnt in the course.
Instructors were amazing. Specially to see Tanmay at the age of 15 with so much of passion he talks about AI. It really motivates me more and more.
Course content was excellent. I have a clear understanding of AI definition, concepts, ethics and bias, its impact on the different areas.
Thank you to all instructors.

I honestly started this course with some minor skepticism that i would even be interested in the subject matter but i knew where my industry is going, so i figured that i may as well learn about AI. I am blown away at how interested i became as i learned more about each concept. This intro course has definitely pushed me to finish the entire specialization and possibly look into others. Very well put together and it was not boring at all.

Ziemlich breit ausgelegter Einstieg in das Thema KI mit guter Grundinformation über die Funktionsweise und andere Aspekte wie Ethik, Gefahren, Auswirkungen, Job-Moeglichkeiten und vieles mehr. Wichtig dabei: Man sollte auch die optionalen Artikeln lesen. Einziges Manko: Ein paar wenige Links sind nicht mehr aktiv. Ausserdem ist die ganze Sache naturbedingt etwas IBM-lastig (der Kurs stammt ja von IBM), war für mich aber ok.

Artificial Intelligence is add-on intelligence to human intelligence This course is perfect for beginners who wants to know all that basics of AI. It will clear many misconceptions regarding ethics of AI. Artificial Intelligence is the future of digitalization.

I loved learning about AI, which I never thought I would be interested in the point of finishing the course finally. This course helped me understand the differences between Machine Learning, Neural Networks, and Deep Learning in a way that was easy to follow.

This is a fantastic introduction to AI, Robotic and Machine learning.
The whole concept is demystified. I am now familiar with the meaning of terms like Algorithm, Deep Data, Machine learning and the relationship between training data, Result and Algorithm.

I would say 10/10 A++++++ For this course. Before taking this course I had no idea about AI and I was dump-minded. Now I am taking advanced courses in AI because of this course. So please consider taking this course if you are new to AI. Highly Recommended.

Always been interested in Artificial Intelligence and its capabilities. Thoroughly enjoyed hearing from experts and prominent figures in this field. Their perspectives, comments and ideas were insightful and gave me a great introduction to the world of AI.
