This was an outstanding course and I will certainly look for other courses given by Ms. Finn. She provided valuable information to help me improve my understanding of AI and her examples were effective. It might be interesting to update this course with the manner in which AI is used during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Great overview course with many tangible examples of how AI is being integrated and used in practice across a variety of industries. Particularly liked the inclusion of the handoffs between AI and humans currently, and to where those may evolve.

I didn't like that the presenter mostly read from the slides. She would occasionally throw in something off script but not enough to make it interesting. This is a new and exciting topic - but this course was not particularly exciting.

As indicated by the title, the course is introductory without any technical components and met the expectations. It was interesting to learn about the various applications and many industries that are leveraging the solutions.

Good introductory overview of AI. The instructor essentially read the text off the slide deck and this provides a less engaging experience than other information-sharing methods.

I learnt very little from this course. Do I really need to know Company X uses AI in Surgery, Company Y uses AI to book appointments, Company Z.....

Decent pace, quality recording and minimal distractions. That said, the content was pretty basic as you might expect from a 1 hour presentation.

The instructor touched on several interesting topics. She mostly read from the slide deck; this made the presentation sort of dry.

Seems a bit outdated. This field is moving so fast that these classes probably play catch up to remain current.
