| Typical | This Course |
|---|---|
| Technical papers/blog posts/articles. You need to be in the AI field to understand them. Even if you have a PhD, it is challenging to keep up. | This course provides an intuitive approach, helps you understand the main fundamentals and their impact (“Explain Like I’m 5 years old” way) |
| Vague/sensational articles in the media, LinkedIn, Twitter. Most are clickbait to generate more followers/ads. Many are hype and not correct! | This course provides content backed by industry-leading research and scientific studies. No hype, just facts and inspiration. |
| Weeks/months long technical courses scattered in different platforms. Difficult for busy professionals to devote time and absorb. | This course condenses and summarizes multiple-week-long courses and provides the insights that you need for you and your business. |
