I just got this crazy spark of motivation to finally understand how neural networks actually work cuz my boss is starting to mention them in every single meeting lately. Im totally new to this so I need something that wont bore me to death or use too much heavy math right away.
Ive been looking at Brilliant because the interactive puzzles look super fun but then I saw DataCamp has a whole AI Fundamentals track that seems more professional. Brilliant is like $15 a month whereas DataCamp is a bit more expensive but maybe more serious?? I only have about 30 mins a day during my train commute to dedicate to this and really want to have the basics down by next month. Which one is actually better for someone who knows zero about coding...

I would suggest Brilliant.org Premium Annual Subscription.
- 60+ interactive courses
- No-code curriculum Be careful with DataCamp, its tracks might get too technical. Let me know if you need more info!

^ This. Also, everyone is making good points about Brilliant being interactive and Coursera being math-free. For a budget-friendly commute though:
- Khan Academy AI for Beginners Free is zero cost and simplifies things nicely.
- Udemy AI for Absolute Beginners 2024 is super cheap on sale and gets more detailed. Im pretty happy with these options, they really work well without breaking the bank.

Adding my two cents, DeepLearning.AI AI For Everyone Coursera Course is fantastic! I started with it and loved the zero-math approach... it honestly makes understanding neural networks so easy for beginners!
