Testimonials

I found that the real-world applications coupled with the underlying theory was incredibly helpful in this course. I came to understand that there are many ways of asking AI to generate content, which is something I didn't know before. The AI toolkit and chatbot building activity in this course were extremely informative and it encouraged me to practice more! The panel of lecturers and facilitators are wonderful in the crafting the learning pedagogy, plus the notes were well-written and the delivery was done in a layman language. Very enjoyable.
