The AI 101: Introduction to AI course is your gateway into the modern world of artificial intelligence. It’s designed for professionals, students, and lifelong learners who want to understand what AI truly is, how it works, and why it matters in everyday life and business. You’ll trace the evolution of AI – from early automation and expert systems to today’s powerful language models – and uncover how this technology has quietly reshaped the tools, platforms, and decisions you interact with daily.

Through engaging lessons, you’ll learn the difference between artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation in plain, approachable language. You’ll see how AI powers things like recommendation engines, chatbots, and voice assistants, and you’ll explore its growing role in industries from healthcare to finance to creative design. Each module connects technical ideas to real-world outcomes, helping you build a clear, confident understanding without any math or coding required.

You’ll also gain perspective on the opportunities and challenges that come with AI adoption – how data drives intelligence, what “training” really means, and how ethics, bias, and transparency play into responsible development. By the end of AI 101, you’ll be able to separate hype from reality and talk about AI with clarity and confidence. This course lays the foundation for your Cyber-Recon AI certification journey, preparing you for deeper learning in AI 102: AI Basics and AI 103: Prompt Engineering.
