Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a futuristic concept, it is a present-day force reshaping industries, workflows, and decision-making across the global economy. This course introduces the core ideas, methods, and applications of AI, with a focus on how business professionals can engage with this fast-moving field responsibly and strategically.

By connecting technical concepts to real-world use cases, you’ll gain insight into how AI creates value, what risks it introduces, and why ethical and governance frameworks are essential for its safe use. Through accessible explanations, practical examples, and expert insights from the University of Oxford, this course provides the conceptual grounding to understand AI today and prepare for what’s next.

I learned a lot behind "What is AI" and how should we use it and problems can there be if we blindly trust in AI

El curso es excelente, pero el material escrito era imposible traducirlo de manera amigable o que desde el mismo cursera estuviera en español, solo lo videos estaban en español, lo que lleva a un esfuerzo adicional para poder traducir cada material y poder realizar el curso.

The module is great and highly interactive, but there is a scope to make the module further in-depth by adding some more high quality concepts and content. Overall a great course/ module for starters!
