Google launched a free course in machine learning

In the Learn with Google AI tutorial, there are new free lessons on Machine Learning Crash Course.

What is the course about?

The new course consists of 25 lessons with more than 40 assignments and is based on the TensorFlow machine learning system. Lectures are conducted by researchers from Google, explaining the principles of machine learning on real examples. The whole course takes 15 hours. During this time, they promise to explain how machine learning differs from traditional programming and how to design neural networks. You can follow the course by the link .

Why machine learning?

This question is best answered by the project manager Learn with Google AI Zuri Kemp. "In college, studying geophysics on board an oil rig, I realized that the future is behind the software - so I started studying computer science," Zuri explains. "After more than 10 years of working with Google, I realized that the future of computer science is artificial intelligence. Today I head the educational department for machine learning and I hope to make AI and its advantages accessible to all comers. "

Why is Google and why is it free

According to Google research, its innovations in the field of AI annually leave behind thousands of technical specialists at the primary and secondary levels. Therefore, last year the company announced plans to allocate $ 1 billion for the project to retrain workers who "lost their jobs because of the transition to the digital economy."
