In cooperation with prg.ai, we offer you the introductory course to AI, which does not require deep mathematical or programming understanding. The online course was created by University of Helsinki together with the company Reaktor. The students of Charles University have an option of completing the course in Czech or English – the translation is provided by the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University.

How is the course evaluated? 

• The evaluatuion is based on practical excercises, including multiple-choice quizzes, numerical tests, and questions that require a written answer. Numerical tests with optional miltiple choices are evaluated automatically, whereas written open-ended questions are evaluated by other students (mutual evaluation) and, in some cases, by the course instructors.
