I can say I have learnt a huge amount, not just from the lecture texts and readings but also from all the participants. As an introduction to AI, this course was excellent. I signed up for the course as it’s an area on which I knew almost nothing. I started working when we were still using manual typewriters, carbon paper and telex machines and cypher was something I tapped out with one-time codes on a typewriter look-alike at 15 words a minute (now in the Bletchley Park museum) so the tech behind computers and AI is baffling to me.
