Artificial Intelligence, until a few years ago, sounded like a science fiction topic in movies and video games. But it is everywhere now, and it’s here to stay.
From healthcare to financial management, and cybersecurity education, AI has slowly gained relevance in different areas of our daily lives.
But at the same time, its widespread use and application raise questions and challenges that need to be addressed and understood. Hence the importance of truly understanding what artificial intelligence is and its social, economic, and primarily technological implications.
For this reason, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), a leading institution in education in Mexico and Iberoamerica, has decided to offer eight courses on Artificial Intelligence to anyone interested.
These courses, hosted on the Coursera platform, are designed to provide participants with a solid understanding of the techniques used in building intelligent systems.
What Do These UNAM Courses Offer?
These courses, under the guidance of UNAM, ensure accessibility and quality. They do not require prior knowledge of the subject, which means that anyone, from beginners to experienced professionals, can benefit from their content.
The courses are 100% online and are available in Spanish. This ensures that the language barrier is not an obstacle to learning.
The program is divided into eight modules, each focused on key aspects of AI:
- Sixty Years of Artificial Intelligence
- Artificial Reasoning
- Problem Solving by Search
- Evolutionary Computing
- Adaptive Behavior
- Computational Creativity
- Embodied Creativity
- Artificial Intelligence: Final Project
How Can I Access These Courses for Free?
Accessing these courses for free is possible, but it requires following a series of steps as outlined below:
- Register or log in to the Coursera platform.
- Access any of the courses using the links above.
- On the course page, click “Enroll for free.” A pop-up window will appear.
- In the window, look for the phrase “audit course” and click on it. This way, you can enroll in the course in audit mode, although this option does not include a certificate.
This UNAM initiative demonstrates its commitment to the dissemination of knowledge and its desire to prepare a new generation of professionals in the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence.
As AI continues to shape our future, this educational opportunity provides everyone with the chance to stay at the forefront and harness the benefits of this revolutionary technology.
