Moy Keen Choy (KC)

Recommended course for executives, managers, architects and senior leaders.

Great introduction to the world of machine learning.

I recently completed the online AI course from NUS University, and I must say it exceeded my expectations! The course content was comprehensive, up‐to‐date, and well‐structured. The instructors were knowledgeable and engaging, making complex AI concepts easy to understand. The hands‐on projects provided valuable practical experience, and the online learning platform was user‐friendly. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to dive into the world of AI and enhance their skills.

The course gives a good introduction and background to AI and sets the stage for deep diving into specific areas later.

Very well planned and informative course for entry into the AI world.

A good course for those who want a general overview of AI and Machine Learning! The world of AI is so vast and complicated that I can't expect to understand everything from these two days, but I came out of the course understanding exactly what I don't understand - and where to start building up my knowledge.

Dr Ai Xin is very patient.

Great introduction to AI and ML.

Just nice for a fresh person with minimal knowledge of what AI and machine learning is.
