Our take

A strong first course for anyone curious about AI, with no programming or complicated maths. It explains what AI can and can't do in plain terms, it's hosted in Ireland by University College Cork, and both the course and certificate are free. The provider doesn't give a clear total time, so pace yourself. For an Irish course that adds the EU AI Act, try AI for You: An Introduction to AI and The EU AI Act from CeADAR.
