Google AI for Anyone
Duration
- 4 weeks
- 2-3 hours per week
About this course
Google AI for Anyone teaches you about what Artificial Intelligence is. You’ll cut through the hype and learn about AI and Machine Learning.
As its name suggests, this course is for anybody -- you don’t need a computer science, mathematics or AI background to understand it. No programming skills or prior knowledge are needed.
We’ll take you through, from first principles what the fuss is all about, and you’ll get hands-on in playing with data to teach a computer how to recognize images, sounds and more.
As you explore how AI is used in the real world (recommender systems, computer vision, self-driving etc.) you will also begin to build an understanding of Neural networks and the types of machine learning including supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement etc. You will also see (and experience) what programming AI looks like and how it is applied.
From here you will be able to continue your journey through the emerging fields of AI and ML and related technologies. In so doing, you will formulate a basis to understand and discuss AI and ML related matters in your personal and professional life.
Google AI for JavaScript developers with TensorFlow.js
Duration
- Sep 09, 2025 - Jan 06, 2026
- 7 weeks
- 3-4 hours per week
About this course
Are you a web engineer, designer, or creative thinker looking to apply AI or use Machine Learning in your next web application but are unsure where to begin? Or maybe you’re overwhelmed by other courses that focus more on the mathematical proofs than actually enabling you to use these new technologies for real world applications? This course offers a solution and the knowledge to be the "missing manual" for JavaScript users without a background in Machine Learning.
Machine Learning (ML) on the web is growing faster than ever so now is the time to take your first steps too. Learn what the difference is between Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning but also how to use such techniques practically through real examples using TensorFlow.js - Google's leading ML library for JavaScript.
Supercharge your next web app with superpowers - from classifying text in a blog post comment to automatically block spam, to using sensors like a webcam on your mobile device to alert you when your dog is on the couch after you left the house. The knowledge you learn could be applied to any business OR creative idea you have for your next project no matter what industry you may be working in.
Better yet, JavaScript is one of few programming languages that can run everywhere enabling you to leverage the knowledge from this course and apply it client side, server side, via native apps, and even IoT devices allowing you to reuse what you learn across multiple environments.
This course aims to educate, inspire, and enable you to rapidly create your next ML powered idea in this rapidly emerging industry while providing you with a solid foundation to understand the field and confidence to explore the industry further.
Web applications are evolving, so sign up, join the fun, and get an edge over the competition. No background in ML is required to take the course. A basic, working knowledge of web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is highly recommended.
