Free Online AI Courses - Student Research Foundation

Artificial Intelligence is generating a lot of buzz these days. Your students may be interested in it, but do they understand what AI really is and how it is used in business, medicine, the military, and other applications? Do they understand basic AI concepts like machine learning, neural networks, and predictive diagnostics?

High school students who are interested in AI could take online courses that are being offered currently by a number of universities. The problem is that those courses tend to be expensive.

We recently found a good alternative – the AI courses that are offered online by Coursera. They are all well designed. And they are all free, even though some charge a fee for students who want to earn certificates.
