Frequently Asked Questions about Artificial Intelligence

Browse the AI courses below—popular starting points on Coursera.

  • Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI): IBM
  • Generative AI: Prompt Engineering Basics: IBM
  • Fundamentals of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence: AWS
  • Introduction to AI: Google
  • AI For Everyone: DeepLearning.AI
  • Exploring Artificial Intelligence Use Cases and Applications: AWS‎

Start by considering how you want to apply AI—whether you're aiming to build foundational knowledge, develop models, or explore applied uses like chatbots or computer vision.

  • For foundational AI theory and applications, start with AI For Everyone by Andrew Ng (no coding required).
  • For hands-on model development and machine learning, explore the Machine Learning Specialization also by Andrew Ng.
  • Interested in building with AI tools? Consider Generative AI with Large Language Models from DeepLearning.AI and AWS.‎

If you're new to AI or don't have a technical background, these beginner-friendly courses provide a solid starting point:

  • AI For Everyone – A non-technical overview of AI.
  • Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) by IBM – Offers beginner-level instruction on AI concepts and practical use cases.
  • Fundamentals of Reinforcement Learning by the University of Alberta is accessible to those new to AI, with some math background. ‎

The Generative AI: Introduction and Applications course by IBM spans 8 hours and covers deeper aspects of:

  • Machine learning
  • Virtual environments
  • Responsible AI

In contrast, the Introduction to Generative AI course by Google Cloud can be completed in 1 hour, focusing more on:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Deep learning
  • Google Cloud Platform

Both courses address the core topics of generative AI but differ markedly in their depth and specialization. Choose based on your preference for credential recognition and specific skills needed for your career goals."‎

  • A course focuses on a specific topic. For example, AI For Everyone introduces AI without requiring coding skills.
  • A Specialization is a sequence of courses that build deeper expertise, like the AI Foundations for Everyone Specialization from IBM.
  • A Professional Certificate prepares you for specific job roles with portfolio-building and career insights—like the IBM AI Engineering Certificate.‎

Take our short quiz to find the artificial intelligence course that best aligns with your interests and goals. Whether you're exploring foundational concepts, machine learning, or tools like chatbots and generative AI, the quiz can help guide your next step. Start the quiz.

Yes. You can start learning artificial intelligence on Coursera for free in two ways:

  • Preview the first module of many artificial intelligence courses at no cost. This includes video lessons, readings, graded assignments, and Coursera Coach (where available).
  • Start a 7-day free trial for Specializations or Coursera Plus. This gives you full access to all course content across eligible programs within the timeframe of your trial.

If you want to keep learning, earn a certificate in artificial intelligence, or unlock full course access after the preview or trial, you can upgrade or apply for financial aid.‎

AI courses cover a range of topics, including algorithms, supervised and unsupervised learning, deep learning, and how AI is used in fields like healthcare, finance, and robotics. Some courses also introduce tools like Python, TensorFlow, and PyTorch.‎

Not necessarily. Some beginner AI courses are designed to help you learn the basics without prior experience. However, for more advanced topics, a background in Python and math (especially linear algebra and probability) can be helpful.‎

AI course content often covers machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, natural language processing, and computer vision. It may also include hands-on projects using tools like Python and TensorFlow. Courses like AI For Everyone by Andrew Ng on Coursera offer an accessible starting point, while more advanced programs dive deeper into algorithms and model training.‎

AI design is the process of creating user experiences and systems that incorporate artificial intelligence. It includes designing for adaptability, transparency, and user trust in AI-driven products. Courses like Foundations in Human-Centered AI from Northeastern University on Coursera teach how to build intuitive, ethical, and effective AI-powered experiences.‎
