Having 3 different people jumping back and forth caused a lot of confusion and the material seemed to have gaps. Specifically betwen slide 22 & 23. At the beginning of slide 23 she says thank you for all of that insight....what insight? I didn't hear any insight from slide 22 as it seemed they skipped over half of that slide. The presentation was very choppy. I ended up stopping the presentation and just thumbing through the slides to get a passing exam. There are other really great courses on AI within Illumeo to explore

Overall I really enjoyed the point of this course emphasizing the need on data management first!!! Being in internal audit, I have seen time and time again where people try to jump ahead and the results just don't work. I also really appreciated the points made about people approaching the problem from two different ends. These two points are good to reiterate over and over again. Also, the team presentation nature of this kept me more engaged versus just hearing one speaker.

The course was very informative and covered the history of artificial intelligence which I found to be very interesting. The machine learning supervised and unsupervised learning was also interesting. The talking point on bias caught my attention. I liked the course layout with multiple speakers and their viewpoints. Good course!!

Great introduction to the principles and processes involved in AI-related business project management. Provides senior leaders and board members with a solid overview of what questions to ask cross-silo managers and project leads, ensuring that everyone understands the 'why' and then the 'how'.

I liked how this course was presented by three experts in different fields working together seamlessly.
As this is a new area for me, I would have appreciated having a few more examples of how things could go wrong.

Informative overview of AI and clarification of differences in AI, machine learning, and deep learning. Confirmation of the need for human judgement to be included in the evaluation of the validity of AI results.

I liked the use of multiple different presenters. It kept things interesting. Thinking about the hazards of AI and what can be done to alleviate them was interesting.

Felt these guys knew their stuff. Wish they could have used more layman terms to make it easier to understand. Overall I think their approach is sound.

While the instructors were knowledgeable, I felt the course was not well structured. It seemed to jump around without a purposeful sequence.

The course provided a good understanding of AI and ML. It was a bit difficult to follow with three presenters but overall a good course.

I believe that there is some audio repetition about half way through. Great course, might just want to take a look at that.

Good course covering history of AI/ML, what it is, what it is not, how it works, best applications, poor applications.

Diagrams were helpful, especially the hazards. But flow of lecture was staggering and somewhat difficult follow.

I really enjoyed learning about AI. It's an interesting and changing topic so it's cool to stay on top of it.

Confusing. Probably not the right level of course for me to get a basic level of understanding regarding AI.

Maybe one case study of AI failure and one for AI success would be better to explain these practices.

In my opinion this course has too much undefined terminology to be easily understood by the student.
