Today’s Solutions: May 01, 2024

Last year, Finland launched a free online crash course in artificial intelligence with the aim of educating its citizens about the new technology. Now, as a Christmas present to the world, the Nordic country is making the six weeks program available for anyone to take.

Led by the world’s youngest head of government Sanna Marin, Finland is relinquishing the EU’s rotating presidency at the end of the year, and thus, decided to translate its course into every EU language as a gift to its citizens. But there aren’t any geographical restrictions as to who can take the course, so really it’s to the world’s benefit.

The course certainly proved itself in Finland, with more than 1 percent of the Nordic nation’s 5.5 million citizens signing up. The course, named Elements of AI, is currently available in English, Swedish, Estonian, Finnish, and German.

There are already quite a few sites for people looking to learn the basics of AI, but Finland’s is definitely worth checking out. It’s nicely designed, offers short tests at the end of each section, and covers a range of topics from the philosophical implications of AI to more technical.

So, if you’re interested in improving your understanding of one of today’s most defining fields of modern digital technologies, look no further.
