You can now take Google's 15-hour Machine Learning Crash Course training program online and for free!
Google has trained over 18,000 of its employees in AI and machine learning development - most of them through its internal 15-hour Machine Learning Crash Course program. Google is now releasing that resource to the general public, and it's completely free for everyone!
Last year, I learned that Google has trained over 18,000 of its employees in AI and machine learning development - most of them through its internal 15-hour Machine Learning Crash Course program. Google is now releasing that resource to the general public, and it's completely free for everyone!
You can find the MLCC program on Google's newly launched website, Learn with Google AI, which serves as a new information hub for Google where people can “learn about core ML concepts, develop and hone your ML skills, and apply ML to real-world problems.” The site is quite technical in nature, but is intended to be a resource for everyone, from veteran AI developers to total beginners.
Google says that the course can be taken and understood by anyone, but to get the most out of it you should be able to understand basic algebra and have at least some rudimentary programming ability.
The MLCC is just the start of Google's plans for Learn with Google AI, and the company hopes to add more courses to the site in the future to create a central repository for ML/AI education.
“AI can solve complex problems and has the potential to transform entire industries, which means it’s crucial that AI reflect a diverse range of human perspectives and needs,” says Google’s Zuri Kemp. “That’s why part of Google AI’s mission is to help anyone interested in machine learning succeed.”
