Interesting course with a good overview of the basic concepts involved in the intro to AI. A few components could have used some more detail. Like how the AI ethics portion was given equal importance

The course is a good overview of AI application and potential uses. Content is focused on the use of the Watson, the IBM AI platform. No programming is done. It's appropriate for non-coders.

Good introductory course, would be great a more detailed view of the IBM Cloud platform and how to create your on project and do your own AIs, but understand that was not the purpose of this course.

Too much repetition of topics, you could just merge the novel topics.
However the quality of teaching was really good and the course was thoroughly planned which served as a great learning path.

It was pretty good, except that the final assignment was impossible to complete because the specific IBM Watson tool that you use to create your final piece of work was changed from free to paid a couple of weeks ago and the team has not yet found a way around this.

It's an excellent course for beginners. My suggestion is that the course should talk about the failures of AI to date. I recognize that data collection is still a big issue, and that AI will not work as robustly with limited data. That was the experience that IBM had in implementing Watson in the healthcare field. There are stumbling blocks (which people should be informed about) and challenges ahead. Thank you.
