AI For Everyone by DeepLearning.AI taught by Andrew Ng, Founder, DeepLearning.AI & Co-Founder, Coursera
The first video is an introduction that discusses how AI is changing the world. Andrew explains how we can utilize AI effectively, whether for personal use, a corporation, or an organization.
This video immediately nips any concerns about AI in the bud. Are robots going to take over the world? Maybe, but humans have much more control over AI than skeptics may lead you to believe.
According to many experts, AI is exceptionally valuable. For instance, a study by the McKinsey Global Institute predicts that AI will generate between 13 to 22 trillion dollars of value each year by 2033.
Among the most impactful forms of AI is generative AI, which can produce high-quality content such as text, images, and audio. However, other types of AI, such as supervised learning, are expected to create even more value.
“As the owner of a business specializing in metal and wood sculpture and previously owning a vegan restaurant, I never thought that AI would be something I could use meaningfully.”
After watching the first week of videos, I regretted not having learned about the tremendous potential of AI, particularly generative AI. Websites such as Chat GPT could have saved me a lot of time creating content for my social media posts, website, and monthly newsletter on MailChimp.
Using Chat GPT felt like receiving feedback from a colleague in graduate school rather than someone writing on my behalf. Now that I am aware of the power of AI and the challenges of running a business alone, I realize that AI should be considered as important as other essential tools, such as accounting, taxes, school, and education.
I have heard about AI before, but I didn’t know much about it except for the controversy surrounding its use in art. There is a lot of excitement and hype about AI, but also some pessimistic views about the future of art. As the owner of a business specializing in metal and wood sculpture and previously owning a vegan restaurant, I never thought that AI would be something I could use meaningfully.
You can catch me shouting from the rooftops in Peoria for all entrepreneurs to invest in AI or, at the very least, welcome a consultation from our AI team.
