Before you enroll

Check an AI system’s output against evidence and a clear task requirement. Use fictional or public data for exercises, consider privacy and bias, and distinguish a useful demonstration from reliable performance in production. Accounts, usage limits and subscription features vary across tools; review current terms before depending on a particular feature.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Map the people and decisions involved in a fictional AI project. Describe which questions require technical expertise and which require knowledge of users, data or the business process.
