“AI for Everyone” is a non-technical course on Coursera, created by Andrew Ng and DeepLearning.AI. It explains what AI can and cannot do, aimed at people who do not write code.

What it covers

• Common AI terms such as machine learning and data science.
• What a typical AI project looks like and how teams run one.
• How AI can fit into a business, and the ethical issues to watch.

Who should take it

It is a good fit for managers, marketers, students and business owners who want to talk about AI with confidence. It is not the right choice if you want to learn programming or build models yourself.

Before you pay

Coursera often lets you preview or audit a course, and certificates usually cost extra. Rules change, so read the course page for the current options before you spend any money. Our guide on how to choose an AI course can help you decide.
