What Is AI?

Welcome to the introductory course on what AI is! This course gives you a foundational understanding of artificial intelligence — what it is, how it works, and how it affects your daily life. No technical background required. We start from scratch and build up your understanding step by step.

Why learn about AI?

AI is no longer science fiction — it’s reality. You probably use AI several times a day without thinking about it. Your phone recognizes your face, Netflix knows which films you like, and Google Maps predicts traffic jams before they happen.

AI is evolving fast, and having a basic understanding gives you:

• Control – You understand what happens when you interact with AI systems
• Critical thinking – You know when to trust AI and when to question it
• Opportunities – You see where AI can help you at work and in daily life
• Responsibility – You understand the consequences of AI-driven decisions

After this course, you’ll understand the basics of how AI works, recognize AI in your everyday life, and be able to talk knowledgeably about the possibilities and challenges of the technology.
