If you are a non technical professional who wants to understand what deep learning is and how it works under the hood, this free, conceptual course provides a solid starting point. Note that the course was last updated in 2020 and focuses on concepts rather than hands on implementation, so it will not teach you to build models.

Course Eligibility

  • All developers, business managers, functional leads, and AI enthusiasts who want to understand deep learning basics.
  • Product managers who need to work with AI teams and want to understand the technology.
  • Non technical professionals who are curious about how deep learning powers artificial intelligence.
  • Anyone who wants a free, conceptual introduction to deep learning before diving into hands on coding courses.

Course Requirements

  • Basic mathematics is recommended for understanding the concepts.
  • No technical or coding background is needed.
  • A willingness to learn conceptual fundamentals is essential.
