There are a ton of ways to get started learning about artificial intelligence thanks to massive open online courses (MOOCs). You may have heard of popular MOOC providers like Udemy, Coursera, and edX.
These providers offer some courses on artificial intelligence that go much deeper on the subject than your average article or video. In fact, some are part-time courses of study that require several hours per week to complete. These courses are often taught by top AI researchers or experts, but cost far less than a typical university course.
If you’re interested in going deeper on AI, online courses are a fantastic place to start. To accelerate your learning, we’ve rounded up some top courses we’ve found on various sites. Where possible, we’ve sorted courses by most reviews or best reviewed to provide you with the best options possible.
